“The acs wireless team designed and installed an infrastructure that comprised a single 24 port a/b/g wireless POE switch with 18 access points. The project was complete in just 2 days, with the wireless operational with no issues from day one."
“We were determined to make a
significant technology investment,
but to justify this we needed a
WLAN that could stand the test of
time. We concluded that the
Extricom solution would fit the bill,
since it’s a technology with a history
of success in the educational
environment, while also being at
the cutting edge of WLAN"

Does your school need a Wireless Network Solution?
With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, all educational establishments from Primary Schools to Universities are increasingly reliant on virtual learning environments and online content. The need for stable and reliable connectivity in learning areas, making these solutions available to learners and educator alike, depends on a robust and affordable Wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure.

Infrastructure Flexibility: A school’s learning technology needs are as diverse as class sizes. A WLAN can be quickly rolled out virtually anywhere to meet those needs.
Speed: Students can access a WLAN-enabled learning environment in a matter of seconds, without special connections or a tangle of cables.
Resource Mobility: A WLAN allows technology learning tools such as laptops to be moved to wherever students are, rather than vice-versa.
Unique Challenges of Deploying WLAN in Schools
Deploying WLAN in the classroom can bring enormous benefits, but there are some distinct technological challenges to this environment:
Small school IT departments are called upon to support large numbers of users, so the WLAN solution cannot require time-intensive configuration and administration.
Wireless coverage issues are created by schools’ sprawling layouts and the need to provide connectivity to multiple users in the confined area of a classroom.
Security compliance regulations require separation of student and faculty networks.
Uncertain school budget processes require that the deployed WLAN ensure costs are kept low, leverage existing infrastructure, and offer advantages in terms of scale and price.
The Future of Wi-Fi
Most Primary and Secondary educational institutions have a clear vision of the importance of Wi-Fi to their educational mission. The question is: how confident are school IT staff that today’s technologies can meet the demands of their environment?
