802.11n selected to Build Schools for the wireless Future at New Line Learning

by Joel on December 2, 2009

Meru is helping two prestigious Kent academies transition into a fully shared and integrated educational model.

By 2010 Maidstone’s New Line Learning Academies will be transformed into wireless “hubs” of interactive learning, with Meru Networks providing the wireless. Meru was chosen over other vendors for its distinctive virtual cell wireless LAN architecture, which makes it capable of running 802.11n at full speed in both spectrums, while simultaneously supporting an extremely high density of users without any dropouts, disconnections or other interruptions to service. Building Zones, a specialist in using wireless networks to support creative and productive work and learning environments, guided the Academies through the design of their new wireless elearning spaces.

Check out the video of this customer benefiting from a reliable wireless education environment.

    This isn't "extreme high density", imagine 6 classes with 30 kids each - the system fails.
  • Imagine each one of those children with a laptop (1-to-1 classrooms). Imagine lecture halls at universities filled with students opening laptops and connecting with smartphones.

    Its not easy by any stretch but that's what the Meru solution is designed precisely for - situations where reliable connectivity doesn't seem like a certainty. Not only do we deploy in those situations successfully today, we offer our assurance programs to design and deploy networks with that same level of reliability and performance for anyone who wants to deploy wireless as a primary connectivity network.

    You don't have to take our word for it. Feel free to check out more of the successful deployments on the website and ask questions through the "Live Chat" link at the top of the screen.
