The Enterprise Mobility business of Motorola (News - Alert), Inc. today announced that it has deployed a campus-wide wireless LAN for Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China.

 

The network is expected to help the university provide multimedia Internet-based teaching, automatic academic office management, Internet access, long-distance teaching and other services. The school provides complete wireless LAN coverage to every building, in addition to the campus’ outdoor spaces.

 

“With its high performance and scalability, Motorola’s wireless LAN solutions will provide the university with reliable, end-to-end coverage, security and manageability both outdoors and inside academic and administrative buildings, hostels, and canteens,” said Jian-Zheng Xu, campus network manager at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. “Motorola is helping us realize our goal of managing and teaching through the WLAN network to provide convenience to the lecturers and enhance the students’ learning experiences.”

 

The WLAN features Motorola solutions for indoor and outdoor coverage, enabling an all-wireless enterprise.

 

The campus uses 600 access points, Motorola AP300 wireless access ports, mesh-enabled AP-5131 access points, Motorola’s RFS7000 RF switch (which features the Wi-NG architecture and the RF Management suite) to deliver campus-wide coverage spanning over 4.5 million square feet and to support 15,000 users. The mesh connectivity of the AP-5131 complements the existing wired network points and extends the WLAN outdoors blanketing virtually every open space across the university.

 

Motorola’s enterprise WLAN solution helps to control and monitor the entire wireless network at the campus network center, to ensure that the system is able to detect and report any AP errors automatically and adjust the power of nearby APs to compensate for blind spot areas.

 

The system can provide backup data for two campuses so that the WLAN coverage will not be affected if either the wireless network or wired network is disrupted. Also, the Motorola WLAN provides state-of-the art security with support for WiFi (News - Alert) protected access and WPA2. The inclusion of a wireless intrusion protection system further enhances security by monitoring, detecting, protecting and helping prevent intrusions to the wireless network.

 

The WLAN will also enable wireless Internet access for lecturers, students, staff and distinguished visitors at any location on the campus. User verification is managed through a central verification platform at the campus network center to ensure security, stability and manageability of the network.

 

“Motorola’s wireless switches and AP distribution technology are ideal for large-scale WLAN deployments in education, healthcare, and the hospitality industry,” said Steve Choi, general manager of Greater China, Motorola’s Enterprise Mobility Business. “Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications is a pioneer in deploying an indoor and outdoor wireless LAN to enhance the learning experience.”
