As one of the more forward thinking school systems,
York County School Division IT department was presented
with a slow wireless system in their K- 12. The
slowness of the existing system had a direct impact
on the actual instructional time. The installed
wireless infrastructure prohibited classroom teachers
from the ability to use streaming videos and the
internet as instructional aides.
The IT department crafted a best-case requirements
plan:
Support for quick boot and high-quality performance
in dense user environments, such as computer labs
and classrooms using mobile computer cart setups
Low-cost and simple deployment to enable the rollout
during school vacations, in a narrow window of time,
or in need-it-now environments (e.g., mobile classrooms)
Vicom was able to meet
and exceed the requirements set forth by YCSB. Working
closely with Meru’s engineers, Vicom was able
to rapidly deploy a school wide try-it-buy-it 30
day evaluation plan. The success of the plan was
immediate. York County School Board partnered with
Vicom to install, test and train the IT department
on a 6 site 460 access point, centrally managed
wireless network.
York County also installed Meru’s E(z)RF Application
Suite. Meru's Wireless LAN Virtualization technology
makes RF management as easy as running a wired network.
The E(z)RF Application Suite acts as a single front-end
to the entire system, providing intuitive access
to the advanced technology in Meru access points,
controllers and System Director software.
Benefits of Meru’s mobile scale solution
for K-12:
High Density Design Future-Proof Wireless Infrastructure
for Investment Protection Simple Deployment for
Limited IT Resources Comprehensive and Flexible
Security Framework
By partnering with Meru, Vicom demonstrated the
ability to assist a client in issue determination,
solution design, solution implementation and solution
support.
• Complete issue determination, plan coordination,
and project management
• Coordination of internal and external resources
from the manufacturer as well as the customer
• Determination of quantifiable test results
• System implementation
