Lessons in Wireless for K12 Schools
Schools have a growing need for and reliance on network-based resources and technologies. Increasingly, they need to make these resources and technologies accessible to more people, more often in more places. This trend will continue. Wireless mobility networks address networking needs more easily and cost effectively than wired networks.
Schools should consider only wireless local area networks (WLAN) solutions that address the specific needs of primary and secondary schools today, and allow for:
- An easy, cost-effective implementation that uses the existing wired network and provides superior scalability and investment protection
- A less complex network with centralized management and control, requiring less time, and fewer personnel resources to operate
- An advanced future-proof network security — including authentication, access control and intrusion protection, providing integrity for the air, the network, the users, and the data
