Summary

The educational charitable trust in Mumbai was facing significant connectivity issues on its existing wireless network. The trust turned to Blossom, a value-added distributor with over 15 years of experience, for a solution that could upgrade their wireless network and provide reliable connectivity to all their users. That's when Zyxel came into the picture. Blossom offered a comprehensive Zyxel solution that effectively upgraded the wireless infrastructure by deploying new access points and implementing advanced cloud management tools to monitor and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. In order to achieve excellent connectivity performance, ensure broad coverage, and prevent interference in WiFi networks, WAC6103D-I access points were deployed in the classrooms, offering ultra-fast speeds of up to 1.75 Gbps with a ground-breaking dualoptimized antenna design. Additionally, NWA1123ACv3 access points were installed, delivering reliable connections to all areas of the building, with data rates of 1.2 Gbps. After installing the Zyxel access points, the trust saw a significant improvement in WiFi connectivity. In addition to the enhanced WiFi, they also benefited from easy management via Nebula's centralized cloud solution. As a result of this successful outcome, Zyxel has taken charge of the networking projects for other schools and colleges affiliated with the trust.
