As the host of the widely anticipated first 2004 presidential debate, the University of Miami deployed an Alcatel OmniAccess-powered network that allowed journalists in the Press Room to connect to the Internet to transmit, publish, and monitor news stories across the globe.
"The University of Miami realizes that journalists need a reliable telecommunications infrastructure to report their stories," said, Orlando Pimienta, Wireless Engineer at the University of Miami. "Our new Alcatel wireless network provided reporters with the connectivity, security, and speed required to efficiently file stories and communicate with their editorial teams."
Earlier this year, Alcatel added next generation Wireless LAN products to its range of LAN switches and IP-PBXs to deliver the industry's most comprehensive, standards-based wired and wireless converged mobility offering. Leveraging its leadership in IP telephony, data switches built for mobility and convergence, wireless technologies and communication applications, Alcatel delivers more services and capabilities on fewer platforms and fewer infrastructures to access business applications and resources anywhere and at any time.
"Alcatel is the industry's best value in wired and wireless network availability, security, and management," said Tom Burns, senior vice president and general manager of Alcatel's Network Infrastructure business. "Our solutions are specifically designed for mission critical network environments like the University of Miami's-where users expect secure, non-stop network access in order to do their jobs."
