Saint Victor Partners with Cisco Systems
Integrating technology with teach-
ing and learning can present challenges
in the classroom. At Saint Victor School,
the Technology Coordinator, Ian Hin-
kle partnered with Cisco Systems to
overcome a big challenge: supporting
the demand for more robust Wi-Fi on
campus. A Saint Victor parent Raveesh
D’Silva, who is currently employed
with Cisco Systems helped create a
partnership between Saint Victor and
the worldwide leader in IT and net-
working. In October, Saint Victor be-
came a beta tester for Mobility Express,
one of Cisco Systems’ newest products.
Working together after school Mr.
Hinkle, Mr. D’Silva, and Rajat Tayal
from Cisco installed Mobility Express.
Mobility Express uses a controller that
is built into the wireless access point
and will fail over to another access
point if it goes down. The software is
extremely user friendly in terms of set
up and maintenance.
On April 5, Hinkle presented Saint
Victor’s case study at a beta partner
meeting at Cisco Systems to a room
full of people excited to hear about
Cisco Systems’ new products. Using a
slideshow with pictures of Saint Vic-
tor classrooms and students, Hinkle
laid out the challenges faced by the
school and how Mobility Express has
helped to overcome those challenges.
It has enabled students and teachers
to access the wireless network from
anywhere on campus. Improvements
have been observed by both students
and teachers. When teachers move
from classroom to classroom they can
roam freely and maintain the strongest
wireless signal. Less time is wasted
disconnecting from one wireless access
point and connecting to another. There
are also fewer connectivity issues due
to switching because Mobility Express
is a professional wireless system that
can handle more users. Working in
partnership with Cisco Systems, Saint
Victor was able to meet a challenge
and the results benefi t students and
staff alike.
