A flexible microwave wireless solution
In the summer of 2014, North Hertfordshire College began looking
for a solution to a wireless connectivity challenge. Although the building that required improved connectivity was due to be sold in the coming years, teaching and learning still needed to be effective during that time. Staff and students were becoming frustrated, and lessons were often disrupted when connectivity failed due to weather conditions.
North Hertfordshire College’s Centre for the Arts needs to be connected to the newly refurbished Hitchin Centre, 500m away. The two buildings are separated by common land and a river, which often creates foggy conditions between the sites.
Matt Greening, Head of IT at
North Hertfordshire College, turned to The Cabling Company for advice. He was looking for technology that provided unwavering connectivity, a flexible solution that could be easily moved when the buildings sold, and value for money.
