Topics discussed include the complexities of coverage in halls of residence, effectively managing the increasing number of student devices running on university networks, and ensuring that the student onboarding experience is as smooth and simple as they\u2019re used to at home. We also look at how modern network design can enable smart campus technologies that \u2013 alongside providing great student Wi-Fi \u2013 can also enable additional capabilities that can offset or supplement a tight networking budget."}
