Corbett Systems, a local provider of computer and Internet technology services, recently helped to complete the monumental project of making Colorado College (CC) a wireless technology campus.

“Thanks to strong encouragement and support from President Richard F. Celeste, CC joined the growing list of wireless college campuses,” states Steve Dickey, owner of Corbett Systems. “We worked over the summer months with the college’s systems engineers to this project to completion.”

According to CC Network Engineer Alan Davis, the assistance and support of Corbett Systems was critical to getting the project completed on time. “They were great to work with,” he states.

The college utilized TigerNet wireless network as an extension of the existing wired network, rather than a replacement. “TigerNet will provide greater flexibility in configuring classrooms and labs and “anywhere” access to information all across our 90-acre campus,” Davis says.

To secure the wireless network, Corbett used Cisco hardware and software. “Cisco employs an industry standard called 802.11b that has integrated system security,” says Dickey. “This will help to safeguard the network from hackers,”
