Wireless as a way of life

Wireless as a way of life

With network connectivity a factor in many students' choice of college or university, higher education institutions worldwide are choosing Meru Networks for campus-wide deployments. Each semester, thousands of freshmen arrive with a diverse range of laptops and other devices, expecting to connect wirelessly.
No longer just a convenience, the wireless LAN has become the main way that most users reach the campus network and beyond. Wireless devices have already changed the way students live, study and communicate.

Designed for the All-Wireless Enterprise

From the beginning, Meru designed its network for the All-Wireless Enterprise: an organization that never needs to depend on wires for connectivity. College students who have grown up in a world without wires need a network that can combine high performance with mobility, while IT needs to provide high density coverage without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Meru's virtualized Wireless LAN architecture offers students and faculty a wired-like user experience, combined with fast deployments, simple management and a low total cost of ownership.

• Wireless Like Wire. Meru's virtualized wireless LAN offers all the performance that users expect from wired Ethernet combined with the mobility of cellular.
• Quality of Service. Data applications get all the bandwidth they need while toll-quality voice is assured.
• Fewer Access Points. Meru requires fewer access points on campus than other solutions, stretching IT dollars further and simplifying management.
• Airtime Fairness. Each client in a packed lecture hall gets a fair share of the airwaves, letting legacy clients coexist peacefully with the latest 802.11n devices.
• Strong Security and Simple Management. It is easy to control the diverse devices that students connect to a network, ensuring that badly-behaved clients do not affect overall performance or compromise security.
