New Delhi : To address the challenge of providing a high-speed, seamless Wi-Fi network across the vast and densely populated campuses, Delhi University (DU) and National Institute of Technology (NIT), Hamirpur recently invested in upgrading their networks using high-quality ‘Make in India’ Wi-Fi connectivity solutions from HFCL Limited. Such initiatives by India’s leading universities are a testament of their commitment to enable secured, high-speed internet connectivity to bridge the digital divide and cater to the needs of the future.
Delhi University is India’s one of the most sought-after educational institutions with a venerable legacy of over 100 years and internationally acclaimed for highest academic standards. The institution entrusted HFCL to deploy secured Wi-Fi solutions at 92 hostels across the North and South Campus. The University is committed to leverage technology to enhance teaching, learning, and research. Post successfully demonstrating its solution through a proof of concept, HFCL already successfully delivered 1,000 Access Points to Delhi University within a span of one week from receiving the order. The project has been executed in collaboration with its System Integrator partner – M/s Hitachi Technologies recently.
Additionally, NIT Hamirpur is in the process of upgradation of their existing campus Wi-Fi network from Wi-Fi 5 to latest WiFi6 based Access points throughout the campus, including classrooms and hostels as part of its digital transformation. This is HFCL’s second successful partnership with an NIT for offering its Wi-Fi solution, following the collaboration with NIT Jamshedpur last year. This successful integration demonstrates the versatility and compatibility of HFCL’s products and their ability to work effortlessly with existing network infrastructure including standard third-party components such as switches and Network Access Controller (NAC). The project will be executed in partnership with Aerial Telecom as the System Integrator.
