10 MYTHS ABOUT WI-FI Higher Education

December 28, 2017

Students arriving on campus today have lived their entire lives as “digital natives.” Smartphones and social media providing information at their fingertips and instant contact with anyone, anywhere—this is the world they’ve always known. These students—and their parents—are often choosing your institution to be their home, not just their school. And they expect a true “home-away-from-home” experience, with constant connectivity in residence halls, classrooms, and across campus. To make this possible, you’re going to need Wi-Fi—strong, reliable, easily accessible Wi-Fi, anywhere, anytime on any device. If you haven’t made delivering this a priority, you better believe that other institutions have. Across higher education, colleges and universities are engaging in a “lifestyle arms race” to recruit students, and great Wi-Fi is a key weapon in their arsenals.

Lavelle Networks SD-WAN Improves Branch Office Cloud Access

whitePaper | January 5, 2020

The popularity of cloud services has meant big changes for branch office networks, which have been operating for years utilizing only dedicated multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) connections back to a corporate data centers. Now, there’s a need to add broadband connections for faster cloud access. But these links are less secure and complicate network management and policy enforcement. Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) systems enable branch offices to have both their broadband connections and to enforce policies designed to improve network security and performance.

Service Provider Outlook

whitePaper | July 20, 2021

In 2Q21, Heavy Reading surveyed 86 communications service providers (CSPs) across global regions on their plans for customer premises equipment overall and universal CPE (uCPE) specifically. This report presents the highlights of that survey. Omdia’s uCPE Tracker – 1H21 Annual Forecast report projects that the worldwide uCPE hardware market will grow from $52.5m in 2020 to $2.3bn in 2025—an impressive CAGR of 113% over five years. With this in mind, Heavy Reading expected to see good support for uCPE from survey respondents, and we were not disappointed. We targeted the survey at CSPs planning to implement uCPE within, at most, 24 months. Nevertheless, the respondent pool showed a more lively than anticipated adoption of uCPE. 59% of US, 61% of Asia Pacific (APAC), and 39% of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) respondents have already deployed uCPE.
