Johnson & Wales University Switches to Aruba for Integrated Security and Flexibility

Tags: ethernet, it department, wales, management

Overview The IT department of Johnson & Wales University (J&W) faced serious challenges in its wireless system. The J&W IT group needed to see and control the air in its wireless LAN to ensure proper security. RF spectrum management and security was not easily possible with the existing legacy "Thick" APs. Consequently, scaling this distributed wireless architecture across other J&W campuses wasn't an option. J&W initially deployed dual-mode, dual-purpose Aruba AP-52 access points throughout its Providence campus and has since expanded to other J&W campuses. Aruba AP-52s, connected to Cisco 3500 series wiring closet switches providing 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet, logically terminate at an Aruba MMC- 5000 modular Mobility Controller.
