The solution is more Unifi hotspots

Just make every ceiling tile and outlet have one and you'll have all the coverage you will ever need

This is correct. As the article says employees are using their phones as hotspots so it's not as if it's a Faraday cage. Their IT guy should do a Wi-Fi site survey and install a few AC Pros.

I hope this is a joke. There's no way a campus like this is going to deploy Ubiquiti.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

No, they'll deploy all the Google Mesh wifi cans....

Those are great, installed them at the last place I was a trainee at.

ez solution. It just costs money for new design, hardware, installation and maintenance but holy shit google double check your build plans sometimes.
