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.
