Strengthening Campus Network Reliability

A resilient, future-ready network built to eliminate downtime, then proven in a real-world storm just weeks after go-live.

Overview

When a private higher education institution needed to modernize its campus network to support streaming, cloud-based operations, and day-to-day administrative work, Nomerel partnered with their team to deliver a resilient, future-ready solution. The result was a more dependable network built to meet growing demand, reduce disruption, and withstand real-world environmental challenges.

Customer background

The institution depends on a stable, high-performing network for faculty, staff, and students. Reliable connectivity is essential: instability interrupts instruction, slows administrative work, and creates frustration across campus. Their network supports:

  • Streaming courses and educational content
  • Campus-wide events and activities
  • Business-office operations across cloud-based and locally hosted software
The challenge

Over time the network had become outdated and increasingly unreliable, replacement costs were significant, and environmental factors added risk. The campus faced repeated issues:

  • Storms, power surges, and lightning strikes
  • Damaged cabling and inoperable network equipment
  • Inconsistent connectivity and degraded performance

Some users couldn't connect at all, others battled slow speeds. The existing infrastructure could no longer meet the reliability expected across campus.

The Nomerel solution

More than new equipment: a plan built to last

Nomerel designed a custom network solution aligned with the institution's technical requirements, budget, and long-term goals. Rather than simply recommending hardware, our team:

Architected for the long run. A solution built for performance, reliability, and scalability.

Secured the funding. We helped the institution identify and secure funding to complete the upgrade at a critical time.

Planned around campus. We minimized disruption and ensured a smooth transition.

Implementation. Two Nomerel technicians spent a full weekend on-site completing the upgrade and restoring connectivity campus-wide, staying responsive and communicative and answering questions in real time.

We have had a great working relationship with Nomerel for several years now. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. Recently we did a major network update on campus where Nomerel technicians spent a very long weekend getting us back online. They did an incredible job and were very responsive to all our questions and concerns. I cannot recommend Nomerel more highly for all your IT needs.

Proven when it mattered most

Less than a month after installation, a severe storm caused transformers to fail, triggering a hard power outage, a campus-wide network disruption, and flooding in one building.

Nomerel responded quickly. Our team returned on-site to restore critical connectivity, stabilize systems, and keep essential operations, including payroll processing, running without delay. Proof of a partner who stays engaged long after implementation.
