Colleges and universities see value in intelligent wireless networking. Mobility is the new norm, faculty and students expect to connect without wires. They depend on it to support faculty and to prepare students for an increasingly mobile world, educational organizations must fully integrate wireless into their connectivity strategy.
"We deployed Xirrus in the most demanding areas of our campus, including the residence halls and buildings housing a variety of engineering and computer science programs, where performance needs continually spike and the types of applications and devices vary greatly. Xirrus has allowed us the ability to securely deliver data, voice, and video services to large user populations - and all at reduced deployment and ownership costs compared to traditional wired networks." -Dan McCarriar, Director of Network and Production Services at Carnegie Mellon University.
When we grow wireless user density in classrooms, teachers can engage connected students in new ways and enhance learning. When we provide more reliable wireless access with fewer devices school-wide, cost of wireless implementation and management is reduced. And when we deliver flawless wireless access in busy libraries and study halls, student satisfaction rises. Wireless isn’t a nice to have anymore. Done right, it’s a strategic IT infrastructure advantage that accelerates learning and lets schools do more than ever before.
With Xirrus High Performance Wireless Network solutions, you can:
- Meet and exceed the bandwidth expectations of students and faculty
- Effectively support cutting-edge curriculum with appropriate instructional technology
- Protect your institution from risk and security breaches
- Future proof you investment with a highly scalable solution
Xirrus wireless solutions are decidedly different. When we designed our wireless networking solution, we saw little point in developing yet another conventional thin AP + controller architecture. That technology can't provide educational institutions the high performance, wired-like reliability they require. Our technology is based on modern cell phone tower technology, where multiple radios per tower and directional antennas produce greater capacity and coverage.
