When a large library system in the New York metropolitan area needed to upgrade their wireless infrastructure across 40 locations, they turned to Plurilock for support in implementing a solution. As part of the deployment, the company also required a passive site survey at each location after the installation of the new wireless hardware was complete. The organization chose Plurilock based on their lengthy experience with the Extreme wireless solution.
THE Challenge
The library system has many locations in the New York metropolitan area, 40 of which they needed to replace the wireless equipment at. Given the design of the buildings, a tall ladder is needed to hang most of the access points. The locations are often in densely populated urban centers, making it challenging to park and bring equipment such as the ladders needed for these installations. Because the libraries are operational during the day, the installations typically need to occur early in the mornings before the libraries are open to the public.
Results
Sent multiple engineers to various locations, often completing a few sites per week, and provided onsite professional services throughout the project
Provided the necessary equipment, including a 10-foot ladder, at many locations, bringing the ladder(s) and equipment into some very dense urban areas where parking and access are complicated
