Wireless Upgrade as Part of the 2023 Bond Project
The wireless network upgrade is a crucial component of the 2023 Bond Project. Here are the detailed reasons for this necessary upgrade:
• Exponential increase in devices: Since the installation of our current wireless network, the number of devices connected to it has increased exponentially. This surge in device usage has put a significant strain on the existing infrastructure, necessitating an upgrade to accommodate the growing demand.
• Replacement of aging infrastructure: Our current wireless network infrastructure is at its end of life. Upgrading to a new system will ensure reliability and efficiency for a minimum of the next 10 years. This proactive replacement will prevent potential disruptions and maintain seamless connectivity.
• Enhanced capacity and coverage: The upgrade will significantly increase the capacity and coverage of our wireless network. This improvement will be particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas such as gyms, outdoor spaces, and hallways, ensuring robust and consistent connectivity throughout these locations.
• Increased safety and security: The addition of access points will enhance safety and security. This upgrade will provide the Police Department with critical communication capabilities within the halls and outside the building, ensuring swift and effective response in case of emergencies. |
