Common use cases for the deployment of Wi-Fi in the classroom as well as utilizing location and Wi-Fi analytics to enhance graduation rates, test scores, academic success, and student/faculty safety. by: Dennis C. Holmes Senior Technology Advisor, Mobility and IoT Solutions About Dennis: Dennis Holmes is the Senior Technology Advisor for Mobility and IoT Solutions at Internetwork Engineering (IE) and has been involved with Wi-Fi for over 18 years.

1. WiFi as-a-Service:
Delivering an exceptional wireless
wireless experience without the
hassle
October 2nd 2018, Dennis Holmes, Senior Technology Advisor, Mobility
and IoT Solutions

2. Today, wireless is a must-have
• Gradually,WiFi has moved from a “nice-
to-have” to a “must-have” part of a
school’s IT infrastructure that’s used by
administration, students, teachers, and
guests.
• Most organizations provide a wireless
network but they usually stink from an
end user’s perspective
• Because they are unreliable, they give IT
a bad reputation frustrating students and
teachers.

3. Why is that?
Challenges with “today’s” technology IT’s ability to meet rising wireless expectations
• Most wireless networks have dead zones
• End users often become your “monitoring tool”
• Incorporating advanced location based services is
difficult, hindering your ability to unlock the business
value in your wireless network.
• Users believe wireless should be uninterrupted
• Trying to do it all with less engineering resources
• Wireless network design, implementation, and support all take time
away from projects that directly impact the business

4. Potential use cases
Along with delivering reliable WiFi and a great user experience, WiFi as a Service offers a variety of
potentially high impact use cases
Gain user or
device intelligence
Leverage
Location-based analytics
Engage with
customers in new ways
Internet ofThings
(IoT) applications
Understand the types of
devices on your wireless or
Bluetooth network and what
users are doing
Track people or
things and fine-tune services
based on their location
Provide a high-bandwidth public
WiFi network and tailor content
to users based on their location
APIs and optional apps deliver
reliableWiFi AND enable
advanced IoT solutions

5. What are some use cases in education?

11. Typical campus security deployments
1
Siloed
systems
Visitor screening,
badging/access controls,
communication, and video
surveillance run as separate
systems
None/outdated
equipment
Hidden risks around potential
critical points of
communication failure
2
Reactive
functionality
Unclear policy and inability to
identify early indicators of
potential risks
3
Inadequate :: Costly :: Slow in Responsiveness

12. Preparation for All Safety Risks and Hazards: DHS Model
Preventions
Deter events through over-watch
presence and vigilance of authority.
Identify possible threats before they
can take shape.
Protection
Control access and monitor
assets and public behavior.
Leverage data sources for
awareness and mitigate issues
before they can occur.
Mitigation
Detect critical events and direct
people, resources, and processes
to minimize risk. Direct potential
victims away from harm and
toward safety.
Response
Optimize response to threats,
save lives, and protect the public.
Enable collaboration within and
across functional groups e.g.
facilities staff, administrators,
police, fire, medical, and public.
Recovery
Aid in the recovery process information
management and situational awareness.

13. • Unify - Isolate physical security
systems, video and data across
the school district
• Visualize - Command and
control across all physical
security systems with full
immersion and real-time alerts
• Locate and Notify - Dynamic
heat Map and building floor plan
indicating sensor locations, live
video and alerts
• Integrate real-time social media
feeds to improve situational
awareness & aid first
A unified view of school or campus alerts and actions
