Wetland Studies & Solutions, Inc.

Project Overview 

Wetland Studies & Solutions, Inc. (WSSI) is the leading wetlands and GIS consulting services provider in the DC metro region.  The firm specializes in integrating the practical constraints of economics and land plan requirements with the need to satisfy local, state and federal regulations.  After conducting a detailed needs assessment, UTDI offered a strategic solution.  Instead of proposing a configuration strictly based upon present needs, UTDI looked at our growth projections and proposed a solution that would accommodate us several years into the future.  Exercising a consultative approach, UTDI considered the number of extensions WSSI required at the present time, in a twelve-month timeframe, and five years into the future.  Based upon the findings, an enterprise-level solution was proposed.  UTDI’s full IP implementation has the versatility necessary to protected WSSI’s investment while providing a secure backbone and offering ease in feature programming.  The Avaya gear selected by UTDI streamlines voice and data operations over one networked infrastructure.  Backed by Extreme Networks’ IP telephony switches, WSSI benefited from high quality voice connections, voice-class availability, comprehensive network security and simplified network management. To complete the end-to-end IP telephony solution, UTDI deployed Spectralink wireless telephones.  This solution allows WSSI employees to move about the office while maintaining connectivity to the voice network.  Access points located throughout the building allow for the greatest range of coverage.  Spectralink phones offer the features and capabilities of the wired IP desk sets.
