Avans University of Applied Sciences, established in 1812, is located in the Netherlands. It is recognized as one of the best major universities of applied sciences in the country with a student enrollment of 28,000 and a staff of 2,000. “Avans WLAN has always been managed with a lot of diligence,” stated Kees Pronk, Network Administrator. “Our WLAN had become a mission critical service for students and staff. Often during exams and peak hours, I was running scripts on controllers to gather information on how our wireless was coping with the load. We felt the WLAN equipment and portable tools did not offer the required information to really optimize the network performance and maintain the users’ quality of experience. We decided we needed to look at complementary solutions and came across 7SIGNAL Sapphire Eye®.”
