Scientel Wireless, LLC has been selected to replace an outdated and obsolete wireless system for Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science with Motorola’s robust family of award-winning Wireless 802.11n LAN products.
LOMBARD, IL, - January 25, 2010 – Scientel Wireless, LLC (Scientel) today announces that Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, located in North Chicago, IL, a national leader in interprofessional medical and healthcare education, has selected Scientel Wireless to provide the University with a full turnkey indoor wireless solution at 802.11n speeds. The solution selected provides wireless coverage to the Rosalind Franklin University Campus, including a high-speed wireless connection to the nearby Rosalind Franklin University Health System facility. Scientel has chosen to use Motorola’s Wireless LAN and Point-to-Point radio solutions for the Rosalind Franklin University implementation.
“We are excited to be selected by Rosalind Franklin University to provide their campus-wide wireless solution. We’ve selected Motorola’s wireless broadband technology because of the company’s continued innovation in wireless technologies especially in their Wireless Broadband Solutions, Wireless Security, and Network Management portfolio” said Nelson C. Santos, President of Scientel Wireless. He continued by saying, “bandwidth is in demand and 802.11n is the right answer for the University, offering the campus community a superior wireless experience.”
The Mission Statement in Rosalind Franklin University’s 2007-2011 Strategic Plan declares that the University is “To serve the nation through the education of health and biomedical professionals and the discovery of knowledge dedicated to improving the health of its people.” It is critical to the doctors, researchers, faculty and students to have information at hand anywhere within the campus environment. Adopting the 802.11N wireless standard will provide the campus community with the most advanced wireless technology available.
“As a postgraduate institution drawing our students from the finest undergraduate and graduate institutions around the world, our students have come to expect high quality facilities that enable them to achieve academic success. A robust wireless experience is not really optional for our institution; it is a requirement,” said Richard Loesch, Chief Information Officer, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. “We selected Scientel Wireless because they have clearly shown a dedication to providing a high-quality wireless experience at other educational and health care institutions. Throughout our relationship we have seen that they really care about providing a quality wireless experience to our students.”
Rosalind Franklin University reviewed many solutions and selected Scientel due to their extensive design and implementation experience in Campus Wide Wireless, Video Security, Mobile Data, Point to Multi Point and Point to Point Wireless Systems. Scientel has installed over 20,000 Access Points and over 5,000 Point to Point networks nationwide over the past 10 years.
The solution at Rosalind Franklin University will include replacement of an existing wireless system and will provide the University with ubiquitous (802.11a, b, g, n) wireless coverage throughout the main campus buildings. This solution will also connect the main campus to the University’s clinical facility utilizing a wireless Point to Point (PTP) system that will reduce leased line costs. Scientel will be responsible for the design, installation and optimization of the entire system. The system will be completed and in operation in the first quarter of 2010.
Scientel’s solution includes Motorola AP7131- 802.11n Tri-Radio Access Points, Motorola RFS 7000 redundant switch, RF Management System (RFMS), Motorola PTP500 and Motorola’s Air Defense solution. Air Defense will be used for the security of the wireless environment and be handled through consistent 24 x 7 monitoring of the complete wireless environment. This includes compliance monitoring, rogue detection, termination, and advanced troubleshooting, which includes live mapping of the current RF environment, live network data and expansion to outdoor and point to point wireless deployments. Rosalind Franklin University will have a secure and easy-to-manage network.
