12 Moroccan universities gain WiFi access points

21 June 2024

Cambium Networks has announced the deployment of 18,000 WiFi access points to provide high-speed internet connectivity in 12 large public universities in Morocco. The project covers more than 200 campuses and 1.3 million students, educational and administrative staff.

The campuses are equipped with WiFi 6 solutions from Cambium Networks both indoors and outdoors. These solutions were designed and deployed with 3GCOM, a service integrator partner of the global operator designated for this project. Partners integrated scheduling tools, touchless provisioning, streamlined installation and centralized cloud management into existing systems to ensure optimal performance.

The deployment of WiFi access points in Moroccan universities is part of the ‘Connected Campus’ program launched in 2021 to guarantee students free and secure access to digital tools. More than 1.2 million SIM cards have been distributed to students in partnership with telecom operators. This is part of the government's efforts to accelerate the transformation of the ecosystem of higher education, scientific research and innovation.

“Flexible learning, online testing and video collaboration with media-rich content require stable, reliable and affordable performance. Our specific technologies uniquely address the needs for density and scalability while delivering the best possible experience, ensuring uninterrupted learning while remaining affordable,” said Morgan Kurk, CEO of Cambium Networks.
