Project overview.
A large community college district needed a clearer understanding of wireless performance across its campuses. With a diverse student population and approximately 10 million square feet of indoor and outdoor space, inconsistent signal strength made reliable access difficult to maintain.
PM2 NET conducted passive wireless surveys across all nine schools using Ekahau-licensed software and hardware. The assessment identified areas of weak coverage and gave district leaders a practical foundation for targeted improvements.
Completed one month ahead of schedule, the project allowed the district to begin addressing priority areas before the school year started. Students entered the academic year with a more consistent wireless experience across campus environments.
Client Context
The client is a large community college district serving a diverse student population, including a significant number of students from underserved communities. Across nine schools and approximately 10 million square feet of indoor and outdoor space, dependable wireless access is an important part of the modern learning environment.
The district needed reliable visibility into wireless coverage conditions so it could prioritize improvements and support students more effectively.

Challenge.
Wireless signal strength was inconsistent across the district’s campuses. Without a complete view of coverage conditions, it was difficult to identify weak areas, prioritize infrastructure improvements, and prepare the network environment before the academic year began.
The scale of the district added complexity. The assessment needed to cover nine schools and a large mix of indoor and outdoor spaces while working within a tight pre-semester timeline.

Result.
PM2 NET conducted indoor and outdoor passive wireless surveys across all nine schools. Using Ekahau-licensed software and hardware, the team assessed approximately 10 million square feet of campus space.
The survey identified areas with weak wireless signal coverage and documented the findings for district leadership. The resulting assessment gave the district a clearer view of wireless performance and helped establish priorities for future improvements.
Although the project was initially expected to finish before the start of the school year, PM2 NET completed the work one month ahead of schedule.
The Result
The district gained a clearer understanding of wireless coverage across its campuses and was better positioned to address areas requiring improvement. Completing the assessment early allowed improvement efforts to begin before the academic year started.
Students benefited from a more consistent wireless experience at the beginning of the school year, supporting access to digital learning resources across the district.
Key Outcomes
Surveyed wireless coverage across all nine schools
Assessed approximately 10 million square feet
Identified areas with weak signal coverage
Completed the project one month ahead of schedule
Supported earlier campus wireless improvements
