Roland Padilla Managing AP Delivery

Layer3 began the delivery of Wireless access points (APs). Due to the significant

number of APs, the challenge was to locate a facility that could house the number of

APs ordered. Pictured below is a subset of the APs ordered that will be stored at Bleyl

Data Center, with the majority of APs stored at Layer3's warehouse.

Wireless Discussion PointsDense distribution of wireless access points (APs) is scheduled to begin at the high schools this month.

Prior to the initiation of this step, a naming scheme for the APs must be finalized. Below is the naming

convention being considered:

• Unique 3-letter campus variable, AP numbered identifier, and Room Number (RM) or unique location

identifier (i.e. HW…..abbreviation for Hallway).

Example #1 - CYR-AP005-RM3122 (AP #5 located in room 3122)

Example #2 - CYR-AP110-RM3122HW (AP #110 located in the Hallway outside of RM3122)

• Also under review is the Cable Identification for each AP.

Pictured above is the combined effort between CFISD, Presidio, and M&S Technology

defining the initial steps required. The first step outlined is to eliminate our current

production single point of failure by installing a second Fortinet firewall at ISC. The

production firewall will be updated with the most current release of firmware and the new

firewall will then be installed.

The proposal includes:

• Total Quantity of users 6380

• Cisco Call Center Express with 10 Agents

• Licenses - Essential, Basic and Enhanced

• SRST Routers for 101 locations for E911

and DR/Survivability

• WAN Bandwidth – 2 locations with 30Mbps

and Police Dept. 1.5Mbps

• IPFlex SIP trunk 20Mbps with 310

Concurrent Calls.

• 36 Month term with all equipment being

purchase and owned by CFISD

Cost savings:

• With this solution, 94% (estimate) of the current cost on

local voice services would be replaced. (327 Alarm and

45 Elevator lines are currently in place from total of 6380

Plexar lines)

• 100% of the long distance service as well as voicemail

services cost will be eliminated. AT&T SIP Trunking offer

provides 300 Min. of free long distance per concurrent call

per month.

• The solution is based on 310 Concurrent calls for the

district, which would give CFISD a total of 93,000 min in

free domestic long calling.

Currently Cypress-Fairbanks ISD utilizes on average

1500 Domestic Long Distance Minutes/month

Leonard Chance, CFISD Technology

Assets Manager, compiled and verified the

“replacement data” for the instructional

campuses. Leonard has started this week

to make site visits to help the campus

technicians validated the inventories to

ensure accuracy, so an order can be

placed. This week he went to Cy Fair high

school, Cy Ranch high school, Hamiltion

middle school, and Hopper middle school.

For the administrative campuses, the

technology service technicians have

surveyed those sites to verify inventories.

The data will be reviewed and added to

the items that have been compiled from
