Claflin University understands all too well that to compete in our 21st-century digital economy and become digital leaders, today’s students must have fast, reliable high-speed internet—a challenge for higher education given a growing number of users, devices, endpoints, and applications. And with 82% of HBCUs residing in “broadband deserts,” Claflin University also believes that it’s important for them to bring the community along to the internet.

Private 5G brings the bandwidth, coverage, and speed needed to empower faculty, staff, and students with next-generation services and applications. It offers a simpler, more affordable and flexible complement to wired and wireless networks—one that can meet the bandwidth and latency demands of today’s modern higher education environments. Private 5G also extends Wi-Fi coverage to include, for example, indoor applications that require dedicated spectrum and outdoor areas with spotty Wi-Fi service.

But planning and deploying a best-of-breed, subscription-based private 5G network requires significant multi-vendor technology and integration skills. Fortunately, Logicalis brings significant networking expertise and its award-winning managed services to deliver a full-stack, subscription-based Private 5G as a Service solution, featuring the Cisco Private 5G solution.
