NVT Phybridge PoE innovations overcome the reach and cable type limitations of traditional switches, allowing institutions to use their existing, proven infrastructure to enable the latest IP devices and AI-enabled applications. From Michigan State University saving $2 million to New Mexico State University simplifying a 7,000-device rollout, learn how to replicate the success to improve campus safety without compromise.
Imagine a campus where security cameras, access control systems, and emergency communication terminals worked seamlessly together, driving both safety and efficiency. As educational institutions embrace the power of IP and AI-enabled technologies, the need for a modern, reliable network infrastructure becomes critical. Yet, a staggering 2 in 3 digital transformation initiatives fail to deliver on their promises. Why? Because most institutions are told they must rip-and-replace their entire network infrastructure to support the latest IP-enabled technologies. That is the trap, and it’s costing schools millions of dollars in unnecessary expenses, extended timelines, complexity, and disruption. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right approach, schools can implement the latest IP capabilities without compromise.
The Hidden Pitfalls of Traditional Network Design
For many educational institutions, the pursuit of digital transformation often begins with the desire to integrate advanced IP technologies into campus environments to improve safety. However, the reality is that traditional network design wasn’t built with these modern demands in mind. Conventional PoE switches, while designed to power devices over Ethernet, often come with significant reach and cable-type limitations. These limitations force schools to confront the costly and disruptive reality of ripping and replacing their existing network infrastructure. This approach drives up costs, introduces unnecessary complexity, creates cybersecurity concerns, and extends the timeline for implementation. Unfortunately, the solution to these challenges often feels like an overwhelming, expensive, and disruptive process, undermining the original digital transformation objectives. The problem is clear: traditional network switches have not evolved as quickly as the modern IP devices they look to enable.
Avoid the Trap! The Impact of NVT Phybridge Innovations
NVT Phybridge PoE (Power over Ethernet) innovations are a game-changer, eliminating the need to rip and replace existing and proven network infrastructure. By overcoming the reach and cable type limitations of traditional switches, institutions are delivering power and data over existing network infrastructure to IP devices. This simplified network design not only reduces costs and deployment times but also simplifies ongoing management and strengthens network security. With a purpose-built network, institutions are modernizing efficiently while ensuring reliable performance.
Trap Avoided: Transforming Campuses with Network Innovations
NVT Phybridge Power over Ethernet (PoE) network innovations are used by hundreds of institutions worldwide to enable the advanced IP endpoints that improve campus safety. For example, Michigan State University (MSU) used the NVT Phybridge PoLRE innovations to deploy over 4,000 IP devices across campus. The school leveraged its existing network infrastructure to save over $2 million, avoid unnecessary complexity, and prevent more than 12 tons of e-waste. MSU modernized without the headache of a traditional network rip-and-replace, helping them exceed their digital transformation objectives by allocating more budget towards the devices and applications that keep students safe.
New Mexico State University (NMSU) faced a similar challenge. They needed to deploy over 7,000 IP devices across campus, but were burdened by the limitations of traditional network switches. With NVT Phybridge network innovations, NMSU saved over $1 million while significantly simplifying deployment and ongoing management.
Whether you’re looking to deploy IP cameras, access control, detection systems, or emergency terminals, NVT Phybridge PoE innovations will help you make the most of your budget. By leveraging existing infrastructure, institutions are achieving better outcomes by saving money, reducing electronic waste, and deploying modern technologies faster.
