Port per Resident

Enterasys' Port-per-Resident solution lets you provide always-on Internet access right from your dorm rooms. Available in both wired and wireless options, Port per Resident can accommodate any residence hall--including historic buildings that traditionally could not be networked--at an affordable cost. The solution includes security features that give access to authorized users and protect your institution's resources from unauthorized traffic or unauthorized use.

Key Benefits
  • Always-on Internet access for every student in a residence hall
  • Standards-based solution that is compatible with the myriad PC systems that students may bring from their homes
  • Cost-effective approach to the challenge of wiring older residence hall buildings
  • Competitive edge in attracting and retaining students
Why Enterasys for Port per Resident?
  • User personalized networking--Enterasys makes it easy to deploy and manage user personalized networks that provide students reliable, high performance access to all the university resources they are entitled to, while preventing them access to resources reserved for faculty and administration.
  • Increased security--Enterasys protects the network at the edge so unauthorized users and network behavior never penetrates the network core.
  • Reduced operational costs--Our networks provide automation features that allow you to lower your costs and realistically deploy user-personalized networking.
  • Minimize implementation costs--The Port-per-Resident solution allows you to bypass many of the costs typically associated with this type of implementation.
Success Stories
Valdosta State University
An institution with a commitment to technology, Valdosta State University (VSU) wanted to provide port-per-pillow, 24 x 7 connectivity to enable students to access Internet resources outside the traditional hours of the university lab setting. After it considered (and ruled out) wiring the residence halls, VSU looked to RoamAbout wireless, an extremely cost-effective, yet high-performance, complement to their existing technology.
