Many campus buildings still rely on telecom rooms sized for technology loads from 20+ years ago. An issue with the older campus telecom rooms is that they were designed before Wi-Fi density and PoE demands significantly increased.
Today’s higher education environments require:
- Increased bandwidth capacity
- Additional rack space
- Proper cooling for active equipment
- Redundant pathways for resiliency
- Additional wall space for expansion
- Clearances that meet current standards
The picture below shows an example of how poorly planned telecom can lead to disruptions later on. Infrastructure planning during renovation projects ensures long-term scalability.
Remember, future-ready campuses start behind the walls!
