Xirrus®, 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 the Tomlinscote School and Sixth Form College campus located in Surrey, United Kingdom. Tomlinscote is one of United Kingdom’s pre-eminent Secondary Comprehensive Schools offering their more than 1,500 students vocational and academic options as part of their nationally ranked Language College to their nationally ranked NVQ Soccer Coaching Course. Continuing to lead with innovation, Tomlinscote recently deployed Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays campus-wide to provide the flexible network connectivity needed for their one-to-one student laptop initiative.

Talking about their decision to deploy Xirrus equipment, Tom Paes, Network Manager at Tomlinscote School said, “I think I was firstly impressed on a technical level because all the other systems I’ve seen have a central network controller. Xirrus, however, puts what I would call… It’s intelligence at the edge. I found this to be an amazing idea and obviously needed quite a bit of time to think about it - but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made.”
