PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW


Business Challenge:

Pepperdine University School of Law (Malibu, Calif.) first experimented with
wireless network onnectivity in 2002 to allowpepperdine_2.png students to access the Internet
and the school network remotely from their laptops while working in the library.
   “We installed nine wireless antennas on our first floor and began supporting about 200 students,”
said David Dickens, network services manager, Pepperdine University School of Law School. 
“At that time, wireless infrastructure was pretty new to the educational industry.  We knew we wanted to enable our students to connect wirelessly for convenience and improved productivity, but we weren’t exactly certain how well received it would be and if it would prove mission critical to them.”
Once the system was up and running, students began connecting to the system via their laptops as they walked around the building. 
“Students tried to use it vigorously at first because it was a source of convenience and it was something new,” Dickens added.  “Within a very short period of time many of the students began to depend on it. 
Wireless connectivity became the norm for them.
They spend three years of their life here. 
Our product is more than just their education; it’s their life.”

City of Ventura - Wireless Infrastructure Project

Background:

In early 1999 the City of Ventura Public Safety Department (PSD)
was in the process of upgrading the
connectivity between it’s various geographical sites.  The PSD
had an existing network of data T-1 line
through their telephony provider, Pacific Bell.  The network
consisted of 11 sites, including the connectivity between
City Hall and the PSD Headquarters.  The PSD was
proposing that all existing T-1 telephony equipment and
connections be upgraded at a proposed cost of
approximately $90,000.00 plus.  This did not include the
recurring T-1 cost that would continue at $2,000 per month
or $24,000.00 annually.  The proposed project at a cost of
$114,000.00 for the fiscal year was submitted to the City
Council and approved.

The magic wasn't just in the new technology. It was that WirelessGuys knew
how to tune the system and make the necessary planning decisions. That is
what we value them so highly for. The expertise they brought to the table was
just incredible!
