Glen Oaks Community College Lacked Reliable Cell Service for its School Buildings and Dormitories
Glen Oaks is a public community college in Centreville, Michigan. It offers numerous degree and certification programs for the state.
THE PROBLEM
Glen Oaks may have numerous accreditations, but it suffered from poor cell service within its main campus building, as well as its dormitory. Such cellular failings are unattractive to potential students, who have grown accustomed to reliable LTE. Few today would willingly choose to live and work in buildings with intermittent cell service.
With competition among colleges and universities being fiercer than ever, Glen Oaks could not afford to let reliable cell service be an advantage to its competitors and detract from its program.
They got in touch with the Bolton Install Pros.
THE SOLUTION
After a free consultation and site survey, the Bolton Install Pros recommended a single QUATRA 4000c hybrid DAS for both buildings. These would be connected via a QUATRA 4000 Fiber Hub. This allowed both buildings to receive reliable signal with reduced frontend costs on a single system, versus having to buy individual systems for each building.
THE RESULTS
Installation took nearly a week, but the results were well worth it. The quality and reliability of service for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular dramatically improved.
This was replicated across all major carriers in every major area of both buildings.
The improved service increased quality of life, quality of education, safety, and more for everyone.
