Discuss the practical application of school Wireless LAN

Currently, wireless LAN is widely used and plays an important role in various fields. Here we will mainly introduce the application of wireless LAN in schools and solutions to some problems for your reference. Kingsbury and Emy of sport, two schools near Birmingham Bordesley Green, will use better wireless technology for information technology sharing and discussion.

Ruckus, a Wi-Fi technology in the enterprise wireless LAN market, today announced that they have provided smart Wireless LAN products and technologies to two schools in Birmingham, the new smart wireless network system will provide reliable Wi-Fi coverage for all school staff and schools and support various mobile applications. Bordesley Green first deployed Ruckus Wireless LAN in its junior and elementary school campuses, and left a deep impression, therefore, the school recommended it to the Kingsbury School and the sports school, two nearby schools.

Bordesley Green has less than 700 students in its junior and primary school campuses. As teachers have increasingly higher Wireless Access Requirements for laptops and other mobile devices, the school wants to install a strong WLAN system, to provide excellent reliability and range. However, it is especially difficult to provide reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout the school and all classrooms, which is related to the school's architectural structure, the walls are thick, and the playground is located in the central area of the school. In this environment, domestic router schools are already in use), and even some enterprise-level solutions are affected by signals, resulting in uneven signal distribution or interruption.

Bordesley Green began to consider Cisco and Ruckus solutions after communicating with Net-Ctrl, a distributor of Internet connectivity and security. In comparison, Cisco's system greatly exceeds the school budget and cannot fully meet Bordesley Green's requirements. In contrast, the Ruckus ZoneFlex solution costs less than half of Cisco's, in addition, it is strictly tested to meet the needs of schools and is easy to configure with low management overhead. Therefore, Bordesley Green finally chose the Ruckus ZoneFlex solution, which includes 10 802.11n access points and can support more bandwidth applications as needed in the future.

Steven Long, IT director at Bordesley Green, said: "We are surprised by the value of the Ruckus solution, especially in terms of system stability. In the test, we added some environmental interference to try to destroy the Wi-Fi signal, and Ruckus ZoneFlex is the only system that can adapt to environment changes. Since we deployed the Ruckus system, it has been operating very well and can provide reliable wireless Internet access for all the Wi-Fi devices of our staff ." Today, school IT staff can build their own solutions simply by pointing to and clicking the web wizard through a simple interface. Ruckus ZoneFlex impressed Bordesley Green's school, bordesley Green then recommended it to the EduGeek website school information and communication technology staff Forum), less than 4 miles away from the school Kingsbury School and the School of Physical Education after seeing the Forum posts, contact Bordesley Green immediately.

Thanks to its ease of installation and management, IT directors of Net-Ctrl and Bordesley Green migrated the solution to Kingsbury for trial run, and the results were very smooth. Finally, Kingsbury decided to purchase the Ruckus solution after obtaining the Net-Ctrl opinion, which includes 15 802.11n access points and ZoneFlex 1025 controllers. Ian Mitchell, information and communication technology manager at Kingsbury, said: "We were surprised to see that the system was so simple.
