| 02/03/2010 Oakington Manor Primary School Brings State-of-the-Art Technology to Pupils Xirrus was Selected by Oakington Manor to Enable Wireless Connectivity and Collaboration with High Performance Wi-Fi Arrays Xirrus, Inc., the Wi-Fi "Power-Play" that delivers the most coverage, bandwidth, and user density in the industry, announced today the deployment of Xirrus high performance 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays throughout Oakington Manor Primary School located in near Wembley Stadium, in the London Borough of Brent. Consisting of over 700 pupils, the school has its own radio station, video conferencing system, and a state-of-the-art ICT suite and library in which 3D technology is used to instruct students across multiple subjects. To enable more efficient and productive learning, Oakington Manor has deployed Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays allowing pupils and teachers to access the Internet and collaborate learning from anywhere on the campus.
Andrew Newton, Network Manager at Oakington Manor Primary School, continued by saying, “Within 3 classrooms [we] have something like 90 children wanting to log on wirelessly at the same time, and that was the really big technical issue. We discovered that other systems simply don’t handle that many. We needed something much more robust and was guaranteed to work. We’ve got 30 laptops in 3 classrooms covered by 1 [Xirrus] Array and it all works fine. And it’s quite spectacular to see it working so well, and it’s reliable - that’s the other great thing. And we found that Xirrus gave us everything we needed. Learn valuable lessons from others deploying Wi-Fi at www.xirrus.com/customerdeployments.
