HIGHER EDUCATION
Redefining wireless,
so you can reimagine
your smart campus.
Higher Education
Universities and colleges, resembling self-sustained ecosystems, boast extensive campuses akin to small cities. Connectivity hurdles in higher education affect multiple facets like operations, security, research, remote learning, and more.
Wi-Fi has been essential, but due to high demand, campus IT teams are looking at private wireless solutions that can offload some critical use cases from the Wi-Fi network. Capacity and coverage through private networks can significantly improve student life on campus, university operations, and improve faculty experiences.

Why JMA for Higher Education
JMA offers a unique ability to deliver public and private wireless solutions on the same Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure. With a strong heritage in providing in-building wireless solutions for all sizes of venues, JMA excels at resolving wireless coverage and capacity challenges in a multi-operator environment and delivering the infrastructure to enable a smart campus transformation. JMA’s open RAN architecture offers the flexibility to simultaneously connect the service provider’s RF signal source to the JMA DAS in a dome or sporting venue while connecting their network to JMA XRAN and offering an additional private network across the campus throughout dorm rooms, classrooms and faculty buildings.
Smart Campuses
JMA's wireless technology can help build a secure, high-performing campus network to improve facility management, offer lower operational costs, augment security, and enhance student learning experiences. Our expertise in complex environments can help universities modernize the campus experience by integrating technology into housing, stadiums, recreational centers, and transportation.
Provide a speedy User Experience
Higher throughput with over 1Gbps, leveraging five-channel carrier aggregation, with 4x4 MIMO. And that’s on CBRS.
Lower CAPEX and OPEX
5000+ concurrent UE connections per cell, less HW and more users- now that’s and impressive number.
Less number of Radios/Venue
Flexibility to use any fragmented channel in the entire 150 MHz CBRS spectrum with the same radio, reducing access point deployment.
Lower Deployment & Management Cost
Shared spectrum support for 4G/5G on day one with multi-operator RAN-sharing and spectrum slicing. Define the use cases you need and slice away.
Enhanced Application Reliability
Simulcast feature eliminates interference, delivering robust application performance for fault tolerant applications.
Upgrade without a rip and replace
Same System, SW upgrade to 3GPP 5G future releases and add capacity with the touch of a button.
Faster access to innovative applications
Faster upgrade cycle with little additional cost and accessibility to new features.
Greater ROI Protection
Leverage the same infrastructure (antennas, connectors, power, fiber), saving ~50% plus 10+ years of product support.
One Wireless Network, Multiple Uses
Lower TCO with multi-operators and multiple private services in a single wireless infrastructure.
Higher Education use cases
Universities that embrace a smart campus strategy can help ensure they stay relevant, enhancing the experience for students, faculty, administrators, and researchers, as well as for the surrounding community in which they coexist. The impact it can have on campus life, athletics and distance learning can set your University apart from the rest.

Whitepaper: Navigating 5G technology
Over the last few years enterprises have been radically transforming to become more dependent on mobile connectivity and leveraging technology for smarter buildings. 5G will be the enabler, supporting not only the insatiable cellular demands of today’s employees, but also Massive IoT. With 5G, up to 1 million connected devices per .38 square miles can be supported versus approximately 2,000 connected devices per .38 square miles with 4G . In this paper we will not only explore 5G goals and challenges, but also what enterprise CIOs must do now to ensure their companies are ready to ride the 5G wave.
