Previously using inefficient equipment to transmit Wi-Fi signals throughout the community, Bishop Gadsden agreed with the HIS recommendation to revamp its internet infrastructure using the Ruckus SmartZone 100 Controler and Ruckus 510 802.11AC Smart Wi-Fi Dual-Band access points. Staff and residents have noted a considerable jump in bandwidth, with the wellness center, for example, demonstrating a rise from 50Mbps to over 200Mbps. Since the implementation, Bishop Gadsden residents have continued to voice praise for the new network capabilities, significantly noting the reliability, strength and speed of online connectivity throughout the entire premises.

“Providing a consistent and fast internet connection is something that simply is not up for negotiation in today’s world where virtually everyone regardless of age or background, seeks to access online services to communicate with the wider world,” said ¬¬¬Bernard Krafsig, director of information technology at Bishop Gadsden. “Partnering with HIS has proven to be a pivotal factor in not only providing residents with a service that they can fully trust to carry out daily tasks, such as paying bills or communicating with friends and family, but also has been essential for us in order to run a seamless operation and attract new residents.”
