Education

Wirelessly connecting students and staff - Information at their finger tips - Control costs, eliminate inefficiencies, improve safety, and enhance the learning experience for both students and staff with wireless solutions from Nova Communications.

Educational institutions can't afford to be left behind when it comes to technology. Students, teachers and staff expect information to be instantly available no matter where they are.  Nova Communications provides wireless systems that create a more integrated educational experience for students and a more productive working environment for teachers and staff - at a fraction of the cost of running cable or fibre.

Extend network access between buildings using point to point wireless links such as Bridgewave's gigabit speed wireless links and Motorola's PTP series of backhauls that provide 10-300 Mbps of throughput. Make your network accessible everywhere using 802.11 Wi-Fi, including the new 802.11n standard. Access points can be cabled or mesh wirelessly to reduce implementation costs and time. And security features such as intrusion protection systems give IT new tools to protect access and information.

Property management and security - Reliable communication in diverse conditions - As schools and universities continue to expand into new buildings and multiple sites, it's crucial for these major properties to have highly reliable and cost-effective communications systems in place. Nova Communications' two-way radio systems offer simple yet powerful capabilities that no other mobile technology can provide - using conventional or trunked technology with dispatch if required.

Maintenance workers and campus security often need to communicate under difficult conditions, whether it's in a noisy hallway or a building with poor reception. With Nova Communications' digital two-way radios, it is now easier to hear and understand conversations, even in remote areas of buildings and in noisy environments.

Safety is crucial - Keeping schools and universities secure - Heightened concerns about the safety of students and staff are causing schools and universities to re-evaluate their current security and safety communications technology. Nova Communications is helping campus security and community First Responders work together seamlessly in times of crisis by putting in place reliable, interoperable communications solutions.

At university campuses and schools across the Maritimes, Nova Communications has been implementing leading edge wireless infrastructures that include:

• Call-boxes in less-traveled areas so staff and students can signal an emergency
• Wireless cameras so security can monitor key areas
• Analog and digital two-way radios for staff communications
• Mobile data devices so security can scan student IDs
• Mobile video recording and GPS tracking on buses for enhanced student and driver safety
