关于客户
瓦尔帕莱索大学是一所位于美国印第安纳州瓦尔帕莱索的私立大学。该大学非常注重为学生提供高质量的教育，作为这一承诺的一部分，它实施了“每个枕头一个端口”政策。这项政策确保宿舍里的每个学生除了 Wi-Fi 接入外，至少有一个可用的以太网插孔。该大学在任何时候都有超过 5,000 名用户，在 44 栋建筑中有超过 10,000 个网络接口。每年夏天，大学都会进行网络验证过程，以确保所有以太网端口正常工作。这个过程由学生“受训 IT 专业人员”执行，他们会测试校园内五个宿舍的每个端口。
挑战
位于印第安纳州的瓦尔帕莱索大学 (Valparaiso University) 实行“每个枕头一个端口”政策，确保宿舍中的每个学生除了 Wi-Fi 接入外，至少有一个可用的以太网插孔。这要求大学每年夏天进行网络验证。该项目以前的流程繁琐且效率低下。学生测试人员必须携带笨重的笔记本电脑连接到每个端口，插入插座，运行各种测试，并在电子表格或表单上手动注释结果。笔记本电脑由于其尺寸、重量、成本和损坏可能性而不适合这类工作。此外，每台笔记本电脑的电池只能持续几个小时，每天需要充电至少一次。测试过程本身非常耗时，每个端口需要 1-3 分钟。
解决方案
瓦尔帕莱索大学的 IT 经理 Jason Kellerman 通过在线搜索找到了 LinkSprinter 网络测试仪，并决定将其用于网络验证过程。LinkSprinter 是瓦尔帕莱索大学的更好测试仪，因为它体积更小、测试速度更快、结果可靠。由于 LinkSprinter 体积小巧，学生们可以随身携带。LinkSprinter 允许学生测试人员在 10 秒内完成整个测试，这一改进使 Jason 的团队将项目时间从通常的一个月缩短到一周。对于不懂网络的学生来说，LinkSprinter 也更容易使用。它为每次测试提供了一致的网络信息，Jason 可以在需要修复故障端口时依靠这些信息。如果在测试期间出现问题，测试详细信息的云存储使 Jason 能够筛选结果并快速查看网络中发生问题的位置。有了这些信息，他可以快速决定下一步措施，确保秋季返校的每位学生都有一个正常运行的端口。

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.
