With the rapid increase of wireless technology and services, more companies and devices are competing for a limited amount of available space across the wireless radio spectrum.
Background
Students in the Center for Convergence and Emerging Network Technology (CCENT) in the School of Information Studies worked with Francis House, a residence for people with terminal illnesses located on Syracuse’s North Side, to audit and update the organization’s information technology.
The Challenge
The IT infrastructure at Francis House was piecemeal and aging. It needed an immediate revamp and update of the existing IT infrastructure.
How CCENT helped
CCENT conducted a thorough analysis, along with interviews with each of the staff members, to determine what equipment was on hand, what was needed, and what was realistic according to the community’s finances as they are financed through donations.
The staff members commented that not only would the students’ work make them more efficient, but it was also “invaluable”. The students were described as “a pleasure to work with, and very respectful of the staff, residents, and family members at Francis house while doing their work.”
The team of students at CCENT worked with the members of Francis House to first map it’s infrastructure and then recommended a set of solutions that have already been implemented.

On Wednesday, April 9, noted wireless industry analyst Craig Mathias, principal of Farpoint Group, visited Syracuse University’s CCENT lab to share his insights about wireless LAN testing. I’ve known Craig for many years and I’ve always been impressed with his technical understanding of wireless systems, his steadfast efforts to systematically evaluate emerging wireless technologies, and his vision of the future. Although Craig was my “competitor” for many years – I was writing about wireless for Network Computing Magazine while he was doing similar work for Network World, that never prevented us from sharing notes on topics of mutual interest.
