M S Benbow, Aruba Networks Complete Liberty University Stadium Wi-Fi Expansion
METAIRIE, La.—Jan. 2, 2019—MSB Consulting Engineers and Aruba Networks have completed a Wi-Fi upgrade and expansion project at Liberty University, the largest university in Virginia. The Wi-Fi expansion provides increased Wi-Fi capacity and more reliable, robust coverage at Williams Stadium, which hosts the newest NCAA Division 1 (D-1) football team, the Liberty Flame.
The recently renovated stadium saw more than 10,000 unique devices connecting to the network and consuming nearly 1 terabyte of data during Liberty Flame’s first home game of the season.
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, was chosen to implement the stadium infrastructure upgrade, with MSB managing construction and engineering of the project. The expansion used Aruba wireless, security and network management solutions and was completed in less than a year.
The new state-of-the-art network will integrate with the university’s infrastructure expansion plans, which will include all 11 of its large public venues across campus, including baseball and softball fields, an indoor track facility and natatorium.
