Madrid, October 14, 2025 — Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has launched a new Indoor WiFi 6E connectivity service in the Torres Quevedo building as part of the SLICES program. This service provides advanced wireless coverage to enhance the experience of students, faculty, and researchers, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity.
The deployment includes four Ruckus R760 access points strategically distributed across the first floor of the building. These APs operate with Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying infrastructure while ensuring reliable and scalable connectivity. The APs provide coverage across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, fully leveraging the expanded spectrum offered by WiFi 6E.
This new capability allows students, faculty, and staff at UC3M to enjoy a more efficient and stable wireless connection, supporting collaborative work, study, and research within the building. The solution is designed to handle high user densities and demanding applications, delivering a next-generation WiFi experience in an academic environment.
Location and deployment
The four Ruckus R760 APs are strategically positioned throughout the first floor of the Torres Quevedo building, ensuring full coverage in labs, classrooms, and common areas. This installation is part of UC3M’s ongoing efforts to modernize its connectivity infrastructure and provide its community with access to cutting-edge technology.
