Title: WIRELESS:
Voice and Data to the Classroom Portable Today
Presenter(s): Mandy
Allen, Dell Computer, and Jay Buckalew, SSI
Room: Greene
Strand: Corporate Sponsor
Wireless has leaped to the
forefront for schools where laptops and mobile carts make accessing networks
seem boundless. However, we have yet to link those classrooms located in
portable trailers. Implementing a wireless network to remote facilities
and thereby providing full access to students of those same resources available
to core facilities requires minimal design and all within affordable
costs. To ensure equity of instruction to all students providing network
access to remote facilities is a must. Come listen to case studies where
Dell has implemented 11mbs connections to remote sites. Using our solutions
remote connections can be easily attained and supported as part of the
schools total LAN/WAN connection.
