Students today require a different set of amenities to attract and keep them versus just a few years ago. Their communication and entertainment needs are far more demanding. Staying connected with High-speed Internet is required both academically and personally while entertainment comes from popular series such as The Sopranos and other cutting edge programming only available through premium cable or satellite TV. Bundling TV and Broadband services into the rent is the new trend among progressive properties that are focused on student housing. Such amenities will become a standard requirement in the near future. Bulk services through the cable companies are not cost feasible and trying to use the local private cable operator (PCO) to deliver a consistent and quality service such as high-speed Internet to the student segment is a tremendous challenge at best and often leads to unsatisfied residents and frustrated staff. We know student housing and can deliver a cost effective double or triple play typically for 75% less than the cable company. $13.99 per bed per month for both TV and Internet including a dedicated 6Mbps T1 circuit (4 bonded T1s) and ____ channels of programming ( based on a 150 unit / 450 bed property ). Move-In Week : We successfully connect over 2 million new users every month to our networks accommodating every type of computer, operating system, and hardware configuration out there. Self Registering Software : Our custom software allows returning students to self-register their PCs with our system upon hook-up with no resident staff intervention required. Bandwidth Management : We understand students’ insatiable appetite for Bandwidth, especially if it is free. No matter how much you provide they will consume it through peer-to-peer file sharing networks (e.g. Kazaa, Morpheus, WinMX, etc.), large downloads, music streaming, virus activity, just to name a few. Bandwidth costs money. Our software automatically limits the above activities versus legitimate email and web use while providing each student an equal share of the available resources to do their work. Network Intrusion Detection (NIDs) : Our software continually monitors packet traffic of the users and automatically detects network abuse and virus traffic triggering a response to limit the impact of those activities upon the network. Customer Support : Our call centers are staff by trained agents and operate 24-hour per day 365 days per year. Every call is answered live, by a trained technician, ensuring your student residents can stay connected day or night or on weekends.
