Many colleges, universities and high schools are converting their entire campuses to wireless mesh networks. Wireless technology makes it possible for colleges, universities and school districts to deliver fast, reliable network access to everyone: students, teachers, administrators, staff and guests. With Mesh networking solution schools can deliver wireless access almost anywhere:

This solution eliminates the need to bury cables in old buildings and across campuses. With well-placed indoor and outdoor nodes, everyone will be connected all the time. Mesh networks also have the capacity to handle the high-bandwidth needs required by students who need to download large files.

In today’s world technology plays a vital role in education institution, but traditional wired networks are often too costly and inflexible. Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology helps higher education institutions to securely extend their existing network into both indoor and outdoor areas where hardwiring would be expensive or difficult, while improving mobility and productivity. Schools can also assemble their entire public safety system up to the network, monitoring security cameras and keeping all personnel in constant communication in an emergency situation.

LifeStyle Networks Wireless Mesh solutions offer a host of benefits for educators, providing support for fast, cost-effective connectivity, even over long distances or beyond the campus.

Benefits of LifeStyle Networks wireless mesh solutions to Education Institutions:
The use of WLAN helps financially constrained institutions achieve more within their existing budgets. It allows them to introduce, at a reasonable cost, leading applications like e-learning that enhance the learning experience.

The benefits for educational IT departments were based on mobility, convenience, and flexibility. It was the ability to quickly deliver IT services anytime, anywhere, without the need for cabling that distinguished this technology. Also:

• IT Managers perceived benefits of WLAN Technology
• Mobility within proximity of wireless coverage
• Flexibility (anytime, anywhere access)
• Easier to set up temporary spaces
• Lower cabling costs
• Easier adds, moves, and changes
• Mobility Increases Productivity

In an educational institute setting up wireless infrastructure allows users to achieve total PC portability and location independence. Students and teachers can collaborate with each other in small groups outside the classroom and connect virtually via the network with each other anywhere on campus. Computer resources can now be put wherever they are needed without wire connections for every computer. In the ever-changing educational environment, wireless technology can reduce the cost and complexity.
