INX Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI) has completed a
deployment of mobile data infrastructure for Irving, Texas
Independent School District.
With over 40 campuses and administrative locations, Irving
Independent School District (IISD) serves the community of Irving,
Texas through several diverse K-12 schools and other learning
facilities. As part of their success, IISD is home to the 1-to-1
laptop program, an acclaimed educational program in which a laptop
is provided to each high school student. This program creates some
challenges in accommodating approximately 34,000 students, teachers
and administrators with reliable wireless connectivity. In order to
address these challenges and improve the student experience, IISD
and INX designed a comprehensive mobile device and wireless
infrastructure in 39 of IISD’s campuses and administrative
locations, leveraging new Cisco wireless technology that included
controllers, access points and network switches. With the designed
solution, IISD was enabled to deliver enhanced wireless
connectivity to all students, including high school students who
benefit from the 1-to-1 program. Irving ISD was also able to
realize improved network reliability and availability. The network
infrastructure solution has provided a more stable and higher
performing local network and Internet connectivity, and thus
greatly improved the learning experience for students across all
campuses.
“Irving ISD is a district where children come first. This
philosophy is also manifested in the design, architecture and
deployment of state-of-the-art technology throughout the district
so that we can continue to provide exceptional educational
opportunities for our students. This network upgrade allowed the
district to realize a number of benefits including: providing
Gigabit to the classroom, doubling the wireless access coverage,
and significantly increasing the speed, security, and reliability
of our wireless network. The impact of this new technology on the
district and in our 1-to-1 program has been extremely positive,”
said Dr. Alice Owen, Division Director of Technology in Irving
ISD.
Alvin McQuarters, Director of Infrastructure and Information
Systems for Irving ISD, said, “INX has been an outstanding partner
who has gone above and beyond what is typically done by a service
provider. Their turnaround time during this engagement was
incredibly fast and efficient and their engineering talent was key
in allowing us to design and deploy a solution that would transform
student experience across all of our campuses and learning
centers.”
Andrew Cadwell, Senior Vice President of Sales and Field
Operations for INX said, “We are pleased to partner with Irving ISD
who is a thought leader in the K-12 education space. Working with
them in their effort to create a better learning environment for
students has been a very gratifying experience. The objectives of
our engagement model are exemplified when we see how technology can
be used to impact the lives of students and greatly improve the
educational experience of students, teachers, and personnel.”
The deal totaled $12.9 million in product and service revenue
for INX and was completed in September 2011. Irving ISD leveraged
their E-rate discounts which saved the District 88% of the total
cost. Technology bond funds approved by Irving voters in 2007 were
used to complete the project.
