Located 35 miles west of Chicago, the College of DuPage has become the largest single-campus community college in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , serving about 34,000 students. With half of all Illinois college Illinois College is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the United Church of Christ and the Presbyterian Church (USA); it is located in Jacksonville, Illinois. It is the oldest college in Illinois, founded in 1829 (and the first to grant a degree - 1835) by one of the  students attending community colleges, DuPage enrolls roughly 1 out of 4 high school graduates from its district.

5G Wireless Solutions was asked to primarily focus on the college's indoor wireless challenges given the preponderance of multi-story academic buildings throughout its 273 acres and heavy volume user applications. The company responded with an efficient array of indoor base stations to provide ubiquitous coverage throughout a wide range of old and new structures. Utilizing its NLOS NLOS Non-Line of Sight
NLOS No Line of Sight (satellite TV)
NLOS Near Line of Sight
 (Non-Line-of-Sight) Wi-Fi technology, these indoor base stations provide superior area coverage over long horizontal distances while penetrating up to three vertical floors. This three-dimensional coverage advantage provides a competitive edge over other wireless indoor access points.

"We're able to leverage the same technological advantages employed in our long-range, outdoor applications to those environments requiring elaborate indoor installations," stated Frank Simonelli, 5G's Vice President of Marketing. "Our 'less is more' value proposition applies both inside and out."

As an example, the company expects to cover one 378,000 sq. ft. three-story building, with nearly 300 rooms, by employing only four strategically placed indoor base stations. A competitive equipment scenario would have required about 50 or more access points to do the same job. The 5G deployment results in savings not only in front-end capital equipment costs, but also in terms of ongoing operational expenses and the value of staff time in administering an excess volume of individual access points.
