Not-For-Profit Wireless Network

The IUPUI living lab has been helping this Not-For-Profit organization since the fall of 2012. The living lab has created the wireless network for this organization. The work that needs to be done at this moment is to configure and position a Netgear switch and replace the Buffalo WAP with a different WAP so that this Not-For-Profit organization can have two VLANs so that all locations and users in the building will have WiFi access.

The Living Lab has been very educational for me this semester. I gained experience in collaborating with a client in order to install a Polycom Videoconferencing system, to provide a new way of communication for the client. Paul D. Bailey

Before Living Lab, I had no work experience related to my IT career. I am grateful to my teachers for their support and encouragement on my projects. I experienced projects hands-on and improved my soft and technical skills. I learned how to work independently and also with a team as needed. I recommend students learn by direct practice and experience the Living Lab. It will introduce you to your prospective career! Ibrahim Issakha Doude
