RF design at the scale of a major campus
A campus-wide Wi-Fi upgrade on one of the largest campuses in the United States starts long before the first access point is mounted. Every building needs a design grounded in how it is actually built and used.
Over a multi-year engagement from 2015 to 2018, WZC produced detailed iBwave pre-site survey designs across more than 275 University of Michigan buildings — academic halls, administrative offices, and residential buildings — totaling 15.9M sq ft.
Those designs became the engineering foundation for the university's $24.4M campus Wi-Fi upgrade initiative.
