关于客户
白原学区是位于纽约市北部的一个郊区社区。该学区有 7,000 多名学生，雇用了 1,100 多名工作人员。学区的管理和信息系统 (MIS) 小组为学区九所学校和三个办公地点的 4,000 多台联网设备提供支持。学区的局域网 (LAN) 在支持学校使用的各种技术方面发挥着至关重要的作用，包括平板电脑、个人电脑、投影仪和 HVAC 系统。学区希望增强其 wifi 网络以改善移动连接，因此需要更新或更换 LAN。
挑战
怀特普莱恩斯学区拥有 7,000 多名学生和 1,100 多名教职员工，其过时的铜缆网络正面临挑战。学区的局域网 (LAN) 对于支持学校使用的各种技术至关重要，从平板电脑和 PC 到投影仪和 HVAC 系统。然而，学区正在努力满足对强大、可靠的网络基础设施的需求，以便为这些技术以及越来越多的设备和应用程序提供带宽。学区希望增强其 wifi 网络以改善移动连接。但在这样做之前，MIS 小组需要更新或更换 LAN。升级现有的铜缆网络成本太高，学区需要一种新的方法，既能提供可扩展性、可靠性和安全性，又能避免铜缆升级的高昂成本。
解决方案
该学区求助于 IBM 全球技术服务部 (GTS) 设计基于千兆无源光网络 (GPON) 技术的新网络。与升级铜缆 LAN 相比，GPON 技术具有多项优势。它使用的设备比铜缆网络少，降低了安装成本，避免了交换、冷却和电池设备方面的支出。使用光纤还可以提供更好的灵活性和可扩展性。进行更改或增加带宽不需要更换光纤，只需更换两端的设备即可。IBM GTS 团队带领学区完成了项目的每个阶段，包括联系合适的供应商、设计网络以及在高中教室中建立概念验证。这项新技术对该学区来说是全新的，因此拥有一支经验丰富、知识渊博的团队来帮助监督该项目至关重要。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
