EDUCATION

Schools, universities, and other educational institutions require innovative networking technology to deliver on the promise of emerging learning and teaching experiences. Educators, students, and stakeholders expect high-tech options on campus:

  • Media-rich digital lessons and learning materials supplemented by audio, video, and interactive elements
  • Fast and convenient online tools to collaborate and connect
  • The ability to complete assignments anywhere, anytime with the right tools
  • Individual, classroom, or schoolwide participation in national and global events

The use of networking technology in schools and universities is growing rapidly. As educators prepare their students to live and work in our increasingly digital world, they are adopting new and innovative teaching methods. High-tech education demands network infrastructure that delivers reliable, high-speed voice, video, and data transmission in a scalable, high-density design enabling minimal downtime and quick moves, adds, and changes. Our FutureFLEX® Air Blown Fiber Solution is often the ideal solution for fiber optic network installations and upgrades in the education space, boasting unique features and benefits in campus environments.

Quick, Cost-Effective Installation

  • Fiber Bundles are installed at speeds up to 150 feet per minute

Improved Safety and No Educational Disruption

  • Fiber bundles are installed point-to-point through campus areas
  • No need to have crews working overhead, on cable trays, or within learning environments
    Easy installation without lifts, ladders, or other potentially hazardous equipment

Tube Pathway Provides Valuable Flexibility

  • Changes to fiber optic routes can be made by reconnecting push-fit couplers at TDUs
  • Open tubes provide future readiness and flexibility
  • Allows for shared CapEx across multiple groups or investments as individual tubes of the larger tube cable can be routed to support specific, varied networks
