Case Study: The Town of Westford achieves scalable, easier-to-manage wireless networking with ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN

The Town of Westford - Customer Case Study

The Town of Westford, a municipality in Massachusetts, faced a challenge with its outdated wireless network that could not support the growing demand from its 3,000 users across schools and town facilities. Their small IT team needed a scalable solution to handle bandwidth-intensive applications and simplify complex network management. They selected the ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN solution to address these needs.

ADTRAN's vWLAN solution virtualized the management functions, eliminating controller hardware to simplify operations and reduce costs. This provided the town with advanced scalability, seamless roaming, and enterprise-class security. As a result, the IT staff streamlined maintenance, and the network now reliably supports over 300 daily large downloads at the high school alone, enabling critical digital learning initiatives and earning positive feedback from users.
