Wireless Solutions

A learning experience

Today, technology plays a key part in higher education and research, firing the imagination, facilitating learning and opening new possibilities to both students and lecturers. Wireless networking solutions lend themselves perfectly to this environment, providing a wide range of vital broadband capabilities such as e-learning, IP telephony, and affordable, high-bandwidth internet access.

With flexible yet comprehensive security and management features, many different services can be delivered to a large number of users over a shared communications media. This not only enhances academic and administrative capabilities, it also ensures that colleges and universities deliver the appropriate resources to attract the best students - and equip them to work, live and play effectively in today’s internet based economy.

The challenge for educational institutions is to continuously develop and maintain infrastructures that meet these technological demands. With often limited staffing and financial resources, ease of use and management are critical factors in the successful deployment of a Wireless LAN. This is where Siemens can help, providing robust, end-to-end networks that meet current and future needs; while at the same time achieving greater value and functionality within existing budgets.

When less is more

Wireless networking offers greater flexibility throughout the campus for both students and lecturers. But now HiPath Wireless 802.11n allows you to do even more, with less.

Typically, a classroom will need 2 or 3 access points to provide sufficient bandwidth for 30 students. With HiPath Wireless 802.11n, a single access point provides up to 6 times the bandwidth of standard 802.11g networks. And higher bandwidth in wireless networks means greater access to multimedia, streaming, voice and integrated data applications. So, HiPath Wireless 802.11n really does give you more for less.
