Smart Campus Connectivity
Eliminating inconsistent coverage in diverse physical settings for the best campus connectivity experience
Campus networks must meet the diverse demands of digital classrooms, sports stadiums, research labs, administrative offices, student housing, transportation, push-to-talk communications for first responders, and IoT sensors for managing infrastructure.
Learn how CTS Delivered Enhanced Cellular Coverage at Skyline College
The San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD), serving nearly 40,000 students, enhances educational access and safety for its three colleges in Silicon Valley—including Skyline College’s 100-acre, 30-building campus. Improving indoor cellular connectivity at Skyline College now supports better communication, a safer environment, and a more effective learning experience for everyone.

Helping You Expand Connectivity Beyond the Classroom – Securely and Cost-Effectively
Challenge | CTS Solution |

Campus-Wide Connectivity for a Variety of Applications
The ever-expanding array of university digital applications such as smart buildings, interactive learning, and video surveillance aren’t well-addressed using Wi-Fi and public cellular network solutions. Wired connectivity is also difficult to extend throughout mature campus environments. As connectivity needs grow, the cost and complexity of deploying and optimizing the network for specific use cases rises exponentially. |
Best-in-Class Wireless Networks
CTS creates a custom-designed wireless network to meet your unique requirements. If multiple wireless technologies are needed, we design with shared infrastructure to minimize upfront costs and ongoing maintenance. Once built, CTS runs and supports your network to ensure high-quality connectivity across the entire campus. |
Keeping Up with Rising Bandwidth Demands
Universities struggle to keep pace with the demand for bandwidth from students, faculty, staff, and operations. The rise in devices per person and high-bandwidth applications like video collaboration and security can overload some campus networks while leaving others underutilized. |
High Performance for University Venues
CTS ensures optimal performance and capacity utilization to meet varying requirements across campus. We map expected traffic by application type to custom-design wireless networks that meet your connectivity needs efficiently. |
Ensuring Secure Connectivity
Universities are prime targets for cyber-attacks. The digital transformation of campuses and the growing use of connected devices increase the risk of breaches, especially when policies and infrastructure vary across disconnected networks. |
Secure Campus-Wide Networks
CTS closes security gaps with fewer entry points and strong authentication, delivering robust cyber-security across the campus network. |
Reliable Emergency Connectivity
First responders need dependable communications for situational awareness during emergencies. Coverage gaps or performance issues can put lives at risk. |
Reliable Indoor and Outdoor Coverage
CTS designs networks to meet or exceed public safety coverage needs, working with local jurisdictions for compliance. We partner with proven equipment manufacturers experienced in public safety communications. |
Uninterrupted Operations
University networks run 24/7. Downtime affects security, revenue, and the learning experience. Managing robust wireless networks is a challenge for small IT teams. |
Turnkey Managed Services with 24x7 Support
CTS delivers turnkey networks with best-of-breed equipment matched to your needs. Our 24/7 Network Operations Center monitors performance and ensures uninterrupted service. |
