Case Study: Universidad Panamericana achieves faster, safer access to learning and seamless virtual collaboration with Webex by Cisco

Mexican University Improves Security and Speeds Access to Learning with Wireless Network

Universidad Panamericana, a multi‑campus Mexican university serving about 40,000 students, staff, and faculty, was struggling with a fragmented legacy wireless environment and a rapid rise in mobile devices that caused slow logins, coverage gaps, and dropped connections—hindering access to cloud- and video‑based learning and virtual collaboration.

Working with Cisco and partners, the university modernized its network—upgrading software on 70% of existing access points and deploying Cisco access points, controllers, switches, routers, and collaboration tools—creating a faster, more secure, and consistent campus Wi‑Fi experience. The upgrade boosted coverage (Mexico City 60%→98%, Aguascalientes 80%→100%), dramatically increased speeds (Mexico City +400%, Guadalajara +2900%), improved uptime to 99.99%, reduced routine configuration time from days to about an hour, and enabled more online teaching while freeing IT to focus on innovation.
