The Digital Classroom Makes The Grade With Wireless Networking.
The requirements of Interactive Learning will no doubt impact wireless networks not designed to handle them. Networks must be designed for 100% pervasive coverage, wired-equivalent reliability, and performance that not only meets today’s demands, but also can seamlessly scale as your requirements do without replacing the network.
Technology to support the digital classroom encompasses identifying appropriate educational applications/software, selecting the right mobile devices (laptop, netbook, tablet, etc.), and building a wireless infrastructure that provides the performance required by this form of learning, and can do so with a level reliability equal to that of a wired classroom.
The Xirrus Array was engineered to do just this, and provides the most modular and scalable Wi-Fi solution in the industry. While traditional APs have two fixed radios and are restricted by a central controller, the Xirrus Array is able to scale to meet any capacity requirements, without the need to rip and replace products. When additional capacity is required, pluggable radio modules enable upgrades from 300Mbps to 450Mbps, or in the future to 802.11ac or 802.11ad technologies. When more capacity is required, additional radio modules can be plugged in to existing Arrays to add capacity without requiring additional cable to be pulled or additional switch ports to be connected.
Key Benefits:
- Highest performing wireless networks
- Interactive classrooms with no limits
- More engaged students and instructors
