In today's fast-paced world, colleges and universities must prioritize campus-wide security cameras, seamless Wi-Fi coverage, and robust perimeter access control; however, the installation of these essential technologies can present challenges on a campus scale.
Issues like exceeding the 100-meter limit of copper cable networks, crowded pathways, limited space, and costly power outlets can arise. Fortunately, Corning's innovative long-reach solutions offer a cost-effective and efficient way to ensure connectivity across the campus.
The Importance of Long-Reach Solutions
In the higher education space, network connectivity needs extend beyond the classroom – it is crucial for safety and security systems to have internet access throughout every location that people migrate. It's no longer just about Wi-Fi on a student's laptop, but also supporting critical safety solutions such as operational blue light phones in a remote parking area. In this way, reliable and high-speed connectivity is essential.
When traditional category cables fall short due to distance limitations, long-reach solutions from Corning can deliver connectivity up to 2,000 feet away without compromising on bandwidth or power delivery.
