Wolf Creek Public Schools Selects Alcatel's Networking Solutions
Posted on: Wednesday, 5 March 2008, 09:00 CST
Wolf Creek Public Schools in Alberta, Canada has selected Alcatel-Lucent's enterprise voice and data networking solutions to deliver communications necessary to build learning communities linking teachers with parents and students.
In 2004, Wolf Creek selected Alcatel-Lucent to build and grow a next-generation network that would leverage the Alberta SuperNet to support advanced applications such as pervasive/secure wireless access, videoconferencing and VoIP.
The district built its IP network using a range of OmniSwitch ethernet switches, providing the bandwidth and security needed to serve students and faculty. Alcatel-Lucent's OmniPCX Enterprise served as the VoIP solution and allowed the district to centralize its main voice switches at the district headquarters and extend remote call servers with back up circuits and resiliency at each school building.
Tom Burns, COO of Alcatel-Lucent's Enterprise activities, said: "Wolf Creek is a bellwether implementation for Alcatel-Lucent because the administration started with a goal to use communications to improve how education is delivered. School districts are an important customer base to Alcatel-Lucent, and the savvy use of technology by Wolf Creek helps us to reinforce our leadership in this market."
