Wodonga Middle Years College Improves Student Learning with a Robust Xirrus 802.11n Network

Wodonga Selected Xirrus for Their Ability to Support More Users with Fewer Devices Than Any Other Vendor

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 across Wodonga Middle Years College in Victoria, Australia. As a fairly large school with 1200 students on multiple campuses, a reliable wireless network is essential to their goal of providing the best possible educational environment for their students. Wodonga chose to deploy Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays to support their growing 1-to-1 initiative because they needed a robust wireless system that they could count on.

Ricky Montgomery, Network Manager at Wodonga Middle Years College explains their need for wireless, "We've started implementing our 1-to-1 initiative by giving notebooks to 350 year seven students and will continue to give them out one class at a time. On the path we're going down, by 2011 every student in the college will have their own mobile device. As a result of this, when we decided to go wireless we required a Wi-Fi solution that would cater to our notebook needs."

Ricky continued by explaining his reasons for choosing Xirrus, "We went through the evaluation phase in which we evaluated other vendors and we immediately knew they weren't going to meet our need for a high density solution that could support the 350 notebooks we had already given out. The only solution we found was Xirrus – in our research we spoke to other schools that had used Xirrus and they were quite happy with their solution. The reason why we chose Xirrus in the end was they were the only company that would come onsite to do a full site survey, ensure that we could run wireless in all the rooms, and also make sure that we could run the quality of wireless that we needed. At the end of the day, Xirrus was the only company that could guarantee their product and that made our decision a whole lot easier because we knew at the end of the day our system was going to work."
