University of Georgia's Center for Continuing Education Replaces Wired Network With Smart Wi-Fi From Ruckus

Tags:
gateways - hubs

Overview Located on the campus of the University of Georgia (UGA), the Georgia Center for Continuing Education Conference Center and Hotel is considered the world's largest and most comprehensive university-based conference center. UGA's Continuing Education IT staff wanted to provide ubiquitous, free Wi-Fi to hotel guests and visitors for years. But rewiring or adding more wires wasn't an option and finding a Wi-Fi system that could cost-effectively replace the hotel's wired cable network while delivering stable and long-range connections just wasn't available. To cover the entire Georgia Center housing facility, One Media Wireless configured and installed nine Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 802.11g Wi-Fi access points, 16 Ruckus 2925 Lite Mesh Gateways and one Ruckus ZoneDirector 1025 controller for under $14,000.
