University Wi-Fi Enhancement: Hotel-Style AP Installation

The Problem:
Students at prestigious London university struggled with poor Wi-Fi due to outdated infrastructure, disrupting academic work and daily online activities for over 500 residents.

What I Did:
As project manager, I led the installation of hotel-style access points (APs) to improve coverage and capacity. Key actions included:

• Assessing needs and setting project goals with stakeholders.
• Creating a detailed plan, timeline, and risk mitigation strategy.
• Using a phased installation approach to minimize disruption by working floor-by-floor during off-peak hours.
• Overseeing procurement, installation, and testing while ensuring IT compliance.

The Outcome:
The project was delivered ahead of schedule, achieving:

• Reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi in all bedrooms.
• An 80% drop in connectivity complaints.
• Improved student satisfaction and enhanced online experiences.
