Lumen Campus — Wi-Fi 6E across three buildings
Predictive design, 180 access points and clean roaming for 4,000 daily devices — without ripping out the existing fibre.
Lumen's three-building campus supported 4,000 devices a day on a Wi-Fi 5 network designed for 1,200. Video calls dropped in every corridor and students congregated in the two spots with usable signal.
Approach
We modelled coverage against the actual building fabric, reduced AP count from a proposed 240 to 180 through better placement, and reused the existing fibre backbone. Roaming was tuned at the controller level, and a guest network was isolated from research traffic.
Result
Median signal strength improved by 19 dBm in previously dead zones, and helpdesk Wi-Fi tickets fell 71% in the first term.
