Meru Managed Wireless

To go wireless is to be free! You can achieve connectivity in places where cable-laying or drilling holes is not an option. Your lessons can break out of the classroom and into other spaces, even outdoors. Learning becomes flexible, mobile, portable and more exciting.

Meru's virtualised single channel architecture enables schools to provide 802.11n wireless coverage everywhere with minimal planning, implementation and support. It provides a high performance infrastructure for high densities of users and enables simultaneous log-in and delivery of multimedia applications to whole classes of devices. It offers the highest performance and concurrent support for 2.4GHz and 5Hz 802.11abgn devices.
