# Education & Campuses

> Campus Wi-Fi and fiber, authenticated student internet, Law 5651 logging, network planning and e-signature for schools, universities and dorms.

A school or campus network serves hundreds, sometimes thousands, of devices at once across classrooms, dormitories, libraries and sports grounds. Students, academics, administrative staff and guests all share it, each with different permissions and needs.

Schools, universities and dormitories that offer internet to students and visitors are collective-use providers under Law No. 5651. They must keep access records and take measures to prevent access to criminal content. For those records to be useful, you need user authentication that shows who connected.

Private schools, university campuses, student dormitories and course centres can plan links between buildings with WiMap (beta) and buy the equipment on wi.com.tr. Student and guest internet runs on WiPoint, network logs go to Syslog, parent communication goes through WiChat and enrolment contracts are signed with Sign.

## Industry needs

- **High device density**: Lots of devices connecting at once in lecture halls, auditoriums and dormitory floors call for proper channel planning and high-density technology such as Wi-Fi 6/7.
- **Links between buildings**: On large campuses, connecting faculties, dormitories and social facilities requires a fiber route or a wireless PTP/PTMP link plan.
- **Identified users and fair use**: With a shared password there is no way to tell who connected. In a dormitory, a few heavy downloaders can slow down a whole floor.
- **Legal records and security monitoring**: Besides Law 5651 records, firewall and server logs need to be available for review so a security incident is caught quickly.
- **Parent and student communication**: At private institutions, keeping up with enrolment-season questions coming in over WhatsApp, phone and social media is a serious workload.

## Recommended solutions

- [WiPoint](https://internetten.com.tr/en/solutions/wipoint.md): Students and guests log in with username and password, SMS or Turkish ID verification under separate rules, and dormitories get per-user quota and speed limits. Access records are archived with RFC 3161 timestamps for 2 years.
- [WiMap](https://internetten.com.tr/en/solutions/wimap.md): WiMap (beta) plans campus fiber ducts and cable routes, and wireless links between buildings with Fresnel and line-of-sight analysis. The bill of materials and PDF report go straight to procurement and the installation team.
- [wi.com.tr](https://internetten.com.tr/en/solutions/wi-com-tr.md): We supply Wi-Fi 6/7 access points for crowded areas, RF Elements and Ubiquiti wireless links between buildings, MikroTik backbone and V-SOL GPON equipment. Everything comes from distributor stock with technical support.
- [Syslog](https://internetten.com.tr/en/solutions/syslog.md): Firewall, wireless controller and server logs are collected in the cloud or on a server on campus and kept for 2 years. When a security incident happens, you search the relevant records there.
- [WiChat](https://internetten.com.tr/en/solutions/wichat.md): Answer parent and student questions from WhatsApp, Instagram, phone and web chat in one place during enrolment. Flow templates reply automatically to repeat questions about programmes, fees and enrolment steps.
- [Sign](https://internetten.com.tr/en/solutions/sign.md): Private schools and course centres can have enrolment contracts, parent commitment forms and staff contracts signed in multi-signer flows, with secure electronic signatures under Law No. 5070.

## Frequently asked questions

### What are the obligations of schools and dormitories under Law 5651?

Keeping access records and taking measures to prevent access to criminal content, because an educational institution that offers internet to students or visitors is a collective-use provider. WiPoint handles user authentication and timestamped records. Content filtering has to be planned separately on the network side.

### Can we apply per-student quotas in dormitories?

Yes. WiPoint lets you set per-user daily or monthly quotas, speed limits, session duration and the number of concurrent sessions, so a few heavy users don't slow down the whole dormitory.

### Should we connect campus buildings with fiber or wireless links?

Fiber is usually the first choice for permanent, high-capacity links. Where digging, cost or time is a problem, wireless PTP links are a fast and economical alternative. In WiMap (beta) you can model both options on the same map and compare line-of-sight, Fresnel zone and bills of materials.

### How do students log in to the Wi-Fi?

With username and password, SMS, WhatsApp, Turkish ID verification or admin approval, using whichever of these your institution enables. QR code login can also be turned on for guests and event attendees.

### Can we keep security logs on our own servers?

Yes. Syslog can run as a cloud service or be installed on your institution's servers. It collects logs from firewalls, switches, access points and servers that support the syslog protocol and keeps them for 2 years.
