York County, PA
Location: United States
Abstract:
Recognizing that broadband access has become an essential requirement for education, officials in York County, Pennsylvania, have been leasing a T1-based network for several years. The ongoing expense greatly impacted their IT budget. As the need to connect more facilities with network services requiring greater bandwidth grew, expansion became prohibitive due to the cost and time required for deployment. It became clear that wireless broadband would be the solution. After extensive research and testing, officials chose Alvarion’s BreezeACCESS®; a system designed to support high-quality broadband services by providing speeds of 10 Mbps or more in a secure, reliable link over license-exempt bands. Since Line of Sight was not available between facilities, the Non-Line of Sight capability of BreezeACCESS was ideal. York County saved an estimated $200,000 in the first year. Savings are expected to more than double annually as the wireless network is expanded.
