Guest access in schools and universities

Researching at home, learning for tests, preparing classes, or interactive design: The potential of Internet usage for students and pupils as well as teachers and staff of modern schools and universities is indispensable today—including at isolated buildings, preferably wireless, and with the users' own end devices.

With the help of LANCOM WLAN solutions, this is easy to implement. By configuring separate networks, the Internet access of the pupils and students is securely separated from the administrative access. Thanks to dynamic VLAN access, the different user groups are assigned to the VLANs that are intended for them, using just one SSID. For example, only staff have access to the university servers. At the same time, school and university students have the convenience of an extensive WLAN guest access, which is so important these days. The authentication in the pupil and student networks (e.g., Eduroam) can be implemented with IEEE 802.1X. This makes it possible for guest students from partner universities to connect to the WLAN of the host university. And even conference guests can be provided with a temporary guest access by means of a voucher.
