Student housing ISP's stress test leads to partnership with EnGenius
"We try to understand at different levels of the installation so that when the installation does go in, we don't have these recurring issues," said Bryan Slayman, EnGenius' product marketing manager.
Slayman, appearing recently on Beyond the Cable at Broadband Communities Summit 2026 in Houston, said their directly relationships with chipset providers, like Qualcomm, have proved invaluable.
"That puts us in a really good position he said," speaking of his company's work with Campus Technologies (https://www.engeniustech.com/casestudies/transforming-student-housing-connectivity-during-unprecedented-times/), a student housing wired and wireless internet partner of EnGenius. "We can change depending on the demand of hardware."
According to EnGenius, Campus Technologies (CTI) wanted to upgrade their wireless infrastructure to meet demand but had trouble finding enterprise grade Wi-Fi equipment.
The search for quality wireless access points led them to EnGenius.
"We used one of our flagship access points," Slayman said. "We didn't have to go to one that was just available."
After running a pilot at one of their properties, Slayman said CTI experienced great success. However, he stressed that CTI "put us through the paces" because the company wasn't familiar with EnGenius.

How DojoNetworks stands apart with culture & commitment
The culture of DojoNetworks is what continues to set them apart from their numerous competitors in the managed Wi-Fi space, according to Dan Myers, the president and founder of the company.
Myers said the company has developed a family friendly environment to accommodate their workforce, which consists of several dozen employees spread out from Miami to Seattle.
Twice weekly, Myers says all employees join in a company-wide Zoom call.
"There are no silos," he said. "Sales gets to talk about what's going on in sales. Support gets to talk about what's going on in support. Engineering talks about what's going on in engineering."
Myers said the calls, which began during the Covid-era, have provided cross-training opportunities for his team.
"Everybody's all rowing in the same direction," he said. "So that's what I believe sets Dojo apart, and that customer care."
Myers said he considers Dojo a 99.6% service and support company.
"What we deploy just has to work," he said, adding that openness and transparency with customers is paramount.
During onboarding, Myers said he has every new employee read a book called "Delivering Knock Your Socks Off Service," by Ron Zemke.
"It's not a heavy read, and it aligns everybody that you have internal and external customers and it's all about being open, transparent, caring, and solving their issue," he said. "And so, we're all aligned on that. From me all the way down to the newest hire."
