24. CASE STUDY: Dublin City Uni
PROBLEM
•Increasing student population, plus growth in interactive
education using multimedia applications
•Existing wireless network unable to handle the
additional traffic (bottlenecks)
MOTOROLA SOLUTION
•Assessed solutions from several leading vendors,
chose Motorola’s WiNG 5 WLAN, 165 AP’s
•Intelligent, dynamic routing enables bandwidth intensive
applications to run smoothly, even on multiple machines
and during peak periods
SOLUTION VALUE
•Retrieve data, browse Internet on the move
•Eduroam: Students & staff access the Internet &
interact with international research & communities
•Visiting lecturers given guest access without
compromising security
•User prevention from accessing undesirable sites
“Our decision to implement
this next generation
network provides us with a
solid infrastructure for
integrated services and
allows us to take advantage
of the latest applications to
deliver interactive and
advanced learning
materials to students in a
stimulating way.”

25. CASE STUDY: Hazelgrove
PROBLEM
•Hazlegrove an independent day & boarding school
•Off-the shelf wireless network, failed frequently,
meaning that time was wasted in lessons
•Wanted to connect more iPads and iPhones
MOTOROLA SOLUTION
•AP 6511 802.11n WallPlate Access Points
•Day to install 18 access points using existing data
sockets, no need to introduce new cabling
SOLUTION VALUE
•ICT manager no longer worries about the network
•Big difference to lessons, teachers can plan a lesson
based around use of the internet in confidence
•Network scalable, so more access points and
devices can be added as needed
•Students who board can access the network in their
own time outside school hours
“ I’ve not had one instance
where I’ve had to go and
reboot an individual point.
We have half an hour in a
lesson, and from the
moment the children pull
out their iPads they can get
going and connect to the
internet. It’s been
absolutely flawless.”

26. CASE STUDY: Keller ISD, TX
PROBLEM
One of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas
with 36 schools serving more than 30,000 students.
It needed district-wide high speed wireless coverage
and to establish the district as a technology leader
MOTOROLA SOLUTION
802.11n WLAN (631 dual-radio, 211 Tri-radio, 3
RFS7000s, AirDefense WIPS + Advanced
Troubleshooting)
SOLUTION VALUE
Upgraded existing wireless infrastructure providing
spotty coverage with high-speed campus-wide
coverage across the entire district providing robust
multimedia (Safari Montage) support for 40 laptops
from a single access point in classrooms
“It’s a two-way partnership.
Motorola knows the
technology and we know
the instruction. You meet in
the middle and you come
together as partners. It’s a
great, great feeling for a
school superintendent to
have that level of
partnership.”

27. ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES
EDUCATION FACE
1. Supports many users and devices per AP,
including real time video and voice
• Motorola set the Guinness World Record
2. Central management without central
bottleneck of central point of failure
• Motorola’s WiNG 5 exceeds requirements
3. Plug & Play and Self Healing Network
• Motorola’s SmartRF automatically configures APs into the
network and will self heal if one fails of if there is RF
interference
4. Site survivability, ensuring classes continue
without access to central controller
• Motorola’s distributed intelligence empowers the access
points to continue operating independently
