DIS has 700 students and about 150 faculty members across 2 campuses: Churchill (pre-K through grade 4) and Waterview (grades 5 through 12).
DIS wanted a solution from a company with name brand recognition like Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
Availability of local support was also important. ICON Voice Networks, the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise master distributor, and Advance Integrated Networks, the local integrator, both have a presence in the area that enables DIS to quickly receive equipment and support.
