Does a Campus Need Network Monitoring?

Campus, as we know, is a place to study. There are many facilities provided to support the needs of its students. One of the facilities is wifi or hotspot to access the internet which is very much needed by students to find thesis materials, assignments and so on. However, is the performance of the existing network always good? What if the performance of the available network cannot meet their needs? What is the right solution to overcome this? Is network monitoring the right solution? To answer all the questions above, here is the opinion of a student at one of the leading universities regarding the performance of wifi on her campus plus a solution to deal with it.

According to Mutiara (21), a Business Administration student at one of the leading universities in the Jakarta area who often uses the wifi facilities on her campus, said that the network on her campus is good but only in certain locations such as the library. Not only that, at certain times and situations also affect the performance of the network on her campus. “The network is good but it depends on the location, times like in the morning, and situations where there are few students. In the library the network is an exception, it’s really fast.”

Muti also added that usually the cause of poor internet network on campus is the number of people using it. So, if a place is quiet with students, the internet network is smooth without any obstacles and vice versa. “If there are few users, the network is fast but if there are many users, the network is also bad. If the network is bad, it’s really annoying.”

When asked whether network monitoring on campus is important, she answered, “it’s necessary, so the network is fast.”

Judging from the discussion that took place with the resource person above, unstable internet network performance can interfere with activities. To overcome this unwanted thing, an appropriate solution is needed, such as network monitoring. One of the right network monitoring tools that can be chosen is NetMonk, Indonesian network monitoring.
