The Overview
|
Touro University, a leader in healthcare education with over 18,000 students, has partnered with Align to support Wi-Fi design, planning and deployment for their campuses all over the country. Align recently helped transform their Montana campus from Wi-Fi 4 & 5 technology to Wi-Fi 6 enabling seamless connectivity and roaming capabilities to students across campus – in lecture halls, auditoriums, recreational areas, and outdoors. Align designed and implemented a robust and redundant wireless solution throughout the university, leveraging expertise in architecting, implementing, and delivering high-speed wireless networks. |

The Solutions
Align recommended Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) to meet Touro’s campus-wide Wi-Fi needs, addressing:
|
SPEED Wi-Fi 6 offers 4x faster data transfer rates compared to their existing Wi-Fi 5 solution |
EFFICIENCY Improved network efficiency, especially in congested areas, like large lecture halls. |
CAPACITY Helped support more connected devices simultaneously without compromising performance |
|
LATENCY Reduced lag and improve responsiveness for real-time applications |
SECURITY Included the latest QPA3 security protocol for enhanced network protection |
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY Wi-Fi 6 is backwards compatible, including 802.11 ac/n/g/b/a protocols |
The Results 
Following a successful Wi-Fi 6 deployment, Align provided training and knowledge transfer to the IT team at Touro University. The new system enabled Touro to easily manage and maintain their campus Wi-Fi through a unified dashboard, simplifying configuration tasks from onboarding new hardware to configuring radio profiles and network profiles.
The project was completed on-time and within budget, allowing Touro University to reap the benefits of the upgraded network without unnecessary delays, downtime or financial strain.
