Scientel Wireless and Lewis University

Scientel Wireless designed, optimized and implemented Lewis University's wireless network

Scientel Wireless, Our recommendation was to change the technology direction and redesign the network using the enterprise-class Motorola Wireless LAN product line, says Nelson Santos, Executive Vice President, Scientel Wireless. The network included the Motorola Point-to-Multipoint solution, MOTOMESH™ Duo and Wireless LAN technology including the AP300, AP-5131, AP-7131 and the RFS6000 wireless switch.

Every building has its own Point-to-Multipoint link to a central tower on site that connects their indoor access points. We used AP300 and AP-7131 indoor access points enabled with 802.11n throughout the buildings. For outdoor coverage, we used Motorolas outdoor mesh radios, says Broderick.

Scientel Wireless reduced outdoor infrastructure by 50 percent and indoor infrastructure by 30 percent. Some may equate the reduction in infrastructure with a reduction in coverage. In fact, it isnt an exact correlation. It is really about proper RF planning. Our coverage actually increased not decreased with the reduction in units, says Santos.
