  • Trapeze Networks

    Trapeze Networks has installed Wi-Fi infrastructure using their Smart Mobile solutions for the 13,000 students, faculty, and staff of the Livermore Unified School District. One of the featured uses of the network is seamless and secure communication for emergency response and preparedness.

    The wireless network allows the district to relay critical information during a disaster when all wireline telephone, cellular service, Internet and local networks may go down, allowing faculty, staff and students to keep in constant communication across the campus. "We saw that a wireless network could be leveraged across multiple agencies to support our district as well as the police, fire and other local government entities during a crisis," says Kevin Peterson, ISS Specialist, Livermore Unified School District. "In addition to aiding the local first responders, the wireless network provides a communication hub for the community so that they can connect with their loved ones."

    "Schools are emerging as natural emergency gathering hubs in which communities can congregate during a crisis or disaster when all cellular, wireline phone and IT networks may be severely compromised or down entirely," says Jim Vogt, president and chief executive officer of Trapeze Networks. "In such critical situations, wireless connectivity is indispensable - and is perhaps the only method for enabling communication. Livermore Unified School District is the perfect example of how a district can use Wi-Fi in an innovative manner for emergency response."
