While most K-12 students in Texas are officially on summer break, CommScope is going back to school. Well, not in the true sense, but we’ll be working on campuses across the entire Mesquite Independent School District (ISD) in Dallas County.
More than 37,000 students attend Mesquite ISD during the school year, making it one of the largest school districts in the state. A special bond election a few years ago helped fund construction projects to address growth in the district and renovate some of the aging facilities. For CommScope’s part, we’ll be installing an end-to-end network infrastructure solution featuring our SYSTIMAX® product line of structured cabling.
Once the deployment is complete, it will support data, video, a VoIP phone system, the wireless infrastructure, building management and security for a whopping 32 elementary schools, eight middle schools, five high schools and an alternative education campus.
Mesquite ISD isn’t the only educational institution we’re working with. CommScope has a healthy roster of primary, secondary and higher education customers around the world. Many of them are challenged with budget constraints while needing to provide instructors and students with the advanced networking and technology tools conducive to learning today and providing a sound education for tomorrow. That’s one reason they’re so selective in choosing an infrastructure partner – they have to invest in a company whose solution will benefit them now and many years down the road.
Take a look at some of the other schools and universities who are relying on us to tackle mission-critical, high bandwidth and emerging applications.
What sort of technology capabilities would you like to see in the classroom or even for learning beyond traditional school walls?
