The University of Oxford strives to deliver a platform that underpins education, research and personal connectivity, enhancing the day-to-day life of the university community. The university invests in its technology infrastructure to enable all staff, students and guests to communicate effectively, share information and collaborate widely. Oxford’s new AI-driven Wi-Fi from Juniper supports central administration, libraries, student rooms, colleges and department buildings, optimising the user experience for many students, staff and visitors. 

 

The University’s departments and colleges that deployed the Juniper Wireless LAN  solution, driven by Mist AI, streamlined network operations and delivered predictable, reliable and measurable user experiences in key administrative buildings, libraries, student rooms and colleges. Juniper’s cloud-delivered services, including Juniper Mist™ Wireless Assurance and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant, give the IT staff unique insight into individual user experiences. It also accelerated deployment, as well as the management and troubleshooting of Wi-Fi with unique AI-driven operations, including automated event correlation, predictive analytics and self-driving network operations.  

 

Juniper: Adapting to Oxford’s Unique Challenges

 

Attaining world-class Wi-Fi is complicated due to Oxford’s historic buildings, some of which date back 800 years and have protracted permission cycles for alteration. Juniper Wi-Fi 6 access points provide optimal coverage across the campus. By leveraging commonly existing mounting brackets and unique location services, Juniper Wi-Fi is quickly installed with minimum disruption to service.

 

Also, IT teams in the departments and colleges that employ Marvis, the industry’s only Virtual Network Assistant driven by Mist AI, leverage natural language understanding for simple queries, event correlation for rapid fault isolation/correction, and self-driving operations that constantly adapt the network in real-time to optimise user experiences.
