Intelligent wireless networks are extremely valuable to colleges and universities. With mobile devices the new norm, faculty and students now expect to connect wirelessly with a seamless connection. With wireless support in the classrooms, teachers can engage connected students in new ways and enhance learning. Student satisfaction rises when wireless access is delivered flawlessly to classrooms, busy libraries and resident halls.
"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 provided with a reliable school-wide wireless network that requires less network equipment and fewer access points, the cost of wireless implementation and management is reduced. Wireless is not a bonus network anymore. Done right, wireless is a strategic advantage that accelerates learning and allows for a fast growing population of students and faculty who use smartphones, laptops, tablets, and streaming media.
