Case Study: Florida Universitaria achieves reliable, secure high-density campus Wi-Fi with Cisco Meraki

How Florida Universitaria provides secure WiFi across a high-density campus

Florida Universitaria, a Valencia higher-education campus serving over 3,700 students across six buildings, faced an aging network with intermittent coverage and time-consuming multi‑site management. To address these challenges the school selected Cisco Meraki, deploying 802.11n and 802.11ac Meraki access points and Meraki Systems Manager (MDM) to deliver reliable, secure Wi‑Fi across a high‑density campus.

Cisco Meraki implemented a mix of MR32 and MR34 APs, automatic meshing and seamless roaming, up to 15 configurable SSIDs, and MDM profiles (Systems Manager Sentry) to enforce device compliance and push policies. The result: stable, high‑performance Wi‑Fi that students and staff use with confidence, centralized Meraki dashboard management that removes the need for on‑site troubleshooting, time‑based group policies for varied access, and license‑included firmware updates that deliver future‑proofing and cost savings.
