WHY PARTNER WITH ALCATEL-LUCENT
Success Story
With Alcatel-Lucent, you have an outstanding
business partner that provides not only technical
expertise, support and service, but that can help with
teacher professional development and introducing
technology into the classroom.
Hamilton Southeastern School District
Location: Fishers, IN
(in suburban Indianapolis)
Solution: Powerful data networking with secure wireless LAN
solution
To keep pace with explosive growth in the student population,
Hamilton Southeastern constantly updates its technology,
maintaining state-of-the-art communications systems for
access to services such as the Internet and to student
databases. One of the major challenges for the district was to
provide mobility for students and teachers so they can
incorporate the power of computers into the classroom.
The district chose an Alcatel-Lucent solution that upgraded
their network core to a gigabit MAN and added wireless data
networking.
The solution delivered:
Fast, reliable wireless Internet access across district locations
Virtual LANs to segregate user traffic and provide secure
access to the appropriate applications
Intelligent network engineering with redundancy and high
port density
Easy installation with minimal impact on management of the
network
“It’s always nicer to be in the position where you can look
back and say ‘Yes, I made the right decision.’ We’ve had good
help from Alcatel-Lucent. We consider Alcatel-Lucent to be a
partner in every sense.”
Jay Denney, Assistant Director of Technology
