WAP & Networking Switches Supply

Durham University Wifi Refresh Project

This project will deliver a next-generation wireless refresh programme across the entire University estate. Approximately 3000 Wifi Access Points (APs) across campus are in scope for replacement. We expect the total number of APs to significantly increase in order to provide desired coverage and capacity - the projected final number is circa 5000.

The necessary upgrades in capacity to our switching infrastructure to support this is also part of the refresh.

The programme of works received approval in late 2019 and work from this Framework Agreement is expected to last until the end of September 2021.
