The Edify Automation That Powers Colorado School of Mines’ Modern Wireless Experience

Colorado School of Mines’ new Private Pre-Shared Keys (PPSK) wireless network required accurate daily housing data to ensure students received the right Wi-Fi access. Without automation, staff would have needed to update and manage access manually every morning—a process too fragile and time-intensive to support a modern network.

• Operational Burden – Before automation, enabling PPSKs would have required Mines to maintain an error-prone, daily workflow.

• Automated PPSK Pipeline – Each night, Edify automatically pulls in housing data, transforms it, and updates PPSK access—eliminating the need for daily staff involvement.

• Instant, Reliable Access – Because the data refreshes nightly, new residents get instant Wi-Fi access with no delays or ticket issues.

• Technology Modernization & Reliability – Nightly automation keeps PPSK access accurate and up to date. This automation improves wireless network reliability and reduces access-related support tickets.

• Improved Student Experience – With automated Wi-Fi credential updates, Mines students can fully participate in digital coursework, campus systems, and daily online life from the moment they arrive, reducing frustration and improving their transition to campus.
