Large School District enjoys Netsync solution

that saves both hard and soft costs

Netsync’s Networking and Mobility Solutions professionals deploy Industry:

Cisco Aironet to support district’s smart ecological solution
Core Practice:
While smart solutions tout seamless connectivity on an array of devices―tablets, Networking and Mobility Solutions
laptops, phones, et al.―what’s rarely known, at least by those outside the
technology sector, is how much work and technical acumen is required behind Project:
the scenes to make it happen. One of the largest school districts in Texas, which School District enjoys hard and
educates over 2,000 students within a 200-square-miles radius, implemented a soft cost savings with Cisco Aironet
smart irrigation system so rainwater collected in a retention pond could be used Access Points
to irrigate sports fields and landscaping.
Technology:
Cisco Access Points
While the district’s administrative offices
had connectivity to the school, there was Locations:
none to the irrigation system’s controls, Texas
which were located next to the retention
pond, approximately 450 feet from the Time Frame:
school. Trenching fiber or copper lines to the 1 week
controller was cost prohibitive. Without a
solution, the district’s facilities personnel had
to travel over 20 miles to make changes at
the controller. They needed a solution and
Netsync had the answer―the Cisco Aironet
1560 Wireless Access Point, which is the
industry’s highest-performing outdoor access
point and supports the latest Wi-Fi standard,
801.11ac Wave 2.

Networking, Security, Service Provider, and Collaboration. Netsync’s
Enterprise Networking and Mobility professionals knew the Cisco 1560
Wireless Access Point would precisely meet their needs. It did.

The Cisco 1560 Wireless Access Point provides high throughput over
a large area. It is a standalone unit that can be wall, pole, or tower
mounted, and can be configured, monitored, and operate through a
Cisco wireless LAN controller. It’s an outdoor access point that extends the
quality and robustness of indoor Wi-Fi to the outside.

Netsync’s wireless and mobility experts, who have extensive, empirical

experience designing and deploying Cisco wireless solutions, mounted,
installed, and configured two 1560 Wireless Access Points, one at the
irrigation system’s controller and another at the school.

The district now enjoys seamless connectivity, even though its Cisco
Aironet 1560 Wireless Access Points are separated by several hundred
feet and operate perfectly during inclement weather and throughout the
dramatic temperature swings of North Central Texas.
