Mobility is the new norm. Primary and secondary students are growing up around wireless connectivity. Many already depend on it for class work. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, there are now about 800 million Wi-Fi-enabled devices produced every year.1 Students are early adopters of technology as they have grown up with these devices as a integral part of their lives. To support students in an increasingly mobile world, schools must fully integrate wireless into their connectivity strategy.

At Riverbed, we see why. 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. And Riverbed does it right

“We use the wireless network heavily in our science department. The microscopes plug directly into the laptops, allowing digital video to be run wirelessly for demonstrations in front of the class. We also use the wireless to provide video, PowerPoint presentations, lesson plans, etc. all across the multi-acre campus. The performance of the wireless network allows our students to stream video simultaneously. We like to use a lot of very rich multi-media content in the classroom and the Xirrus solution makes that possible.”

“The network needed to accommodate large amount of throughput, content such as 150 sessions of 8Mbps each. Many providers could not offer a practical solution due to the layout of the school and the dense population of wireless devices.”

“When it came to a wireless network, particularly with the high densities that we are using, it became critical for us to get the right wireless solution, which is why we started looking at the Xirrus Wireless Arrays. We’re building our next generation environment across the school, and we’ve settled on a solution that works really well for us.”
