Wireless Solutions for Higher Education
Support the digital experience of students, faculty & staff
At home or on campus, we provide the visibility you need to support the end user experience.
College Campus Wi-Fi Optimization
Connection is at the core of the learning experience. Human connection between faculty and students. Curricula connection to lessons and source materials. Technological connection for devices and applications. With higher education becoming more and more connected through a bevy of online courses, testing programs, interactive experiences and the need to keep students and staff connected to the network, the need for a comprehensive wireless optimization platform like 7SIGNAL has never been greater.
Why Use 7Signal?
Gain a competitive advantage
Technology is increasingly seen as a crucial enabler and competitive differentiator for educational institutions. A larger portion of your technology depends on a reliable connection to the Internet. Students and staff don’t blame the internet, they blame the institution and the technology for their poor experience. 7SIGNAL can help avoid this blame by allowing technology staff to tackle wireless connection issues as they happen and take proactive steps to improve experiences for students and staff alike.
High Density Wi-Fi Solutions
On a campus buzzing with thousands of students, faculty and staff, having fast and reliable Wi-Fi is a necessity. 7SIGNAL’s sensors and agents provide a full picture of the wireless network—offering hundreds of data points related to coverage, congestion, speed and more—and allows for fast fixes to be deployed to the areas of campus most in need.
Wireless monitoring for remote learning
For higher-ed institutions and students relying on an LMS, video calls and remote applications as part of their coursework, high-performance Wi-Fi connections are crucial. With the 7SIGNAL, IT and help desk staff can gain insight into and troubleshoot laptop and device wireless performance on or off campus.
An independent on-demand solution for flexible, deployments
7SIGNAL’s platform is made up of environmental sensors and endpoint agents. Both are vendor and device agnostic, allowing the platform to work with any industry-standard wireless access points and campus devices running Windows, macOS, Linux or Android. Data is collected and is sent to the 7SIGNAL cloud dashboard for analysis or can be sent via API to an existing BI or ticketing system.
