The warehouse environment creates serious challenges for traditional WLAN deployments. Though warehouses are typically open spaces that would seem suited to wireless signal propagation, their construction and layout can be problematic, with metal structures and corridors making coverage difficult to achieve. Other obstacles include a changing RF landscape due to the movement of goods and roaming and re-authentication issues that can impact productivity of a highly mobile workforce.

Caludon Castle School chooses the Extricom Channel Blanket wireless solution to replace the failing existing Cisco wireless network.

With the simultaneous demands of both the student body and the staff network, the original Cisco wireless solution installed during the rebuild was faltering. The 3rd generation cell-based technology was unable to cope with concurrent connections required to get a classroom of 30 users seamlessly connected to the network without considerable delay and performance reduction. And the constant re-arrangement of the flexible seating set-up in one of the teaching halls also meant that the wireless signal became continuously intermittent.

Driven by the need to offer instant connectivity and ‘everywhere learning’ across the campus, Mr Paul Harvey, Assistant Headteacher at Caludon Castle decided to investigate alternative wireless solutions. The only one that made the grade? Extricom.

Extricom Continues To Lead The Way To Higher Bandwidth WLAN

New York, NY – October 7, 2010 – Extricom Ltd., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, next generation wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure solutions, announced today that it will launch the world’s first enterprise-grade 802.11n access point with 3 spatial streams, the EXRP-33n, at IPExpo, in London England, October 20-21.

Extricom’s Channel BlanketTM is the perfect architecture to harness the power of 3×3 MIMO technology, and is particularly suited for deployments in bandwidth-intensive applications such as the education, medical, and general office verticals. The Channel BlanketTM eliminates the complex RF cell-planning normally required for 802.11n, and also eliminates the co-channel interference that can severely degrade 802.11n throughput. Consequently, Extricom customers already today realize the true potential of 802.11n technology and will continue to do so in 3-stream deployments.

In addition to enhancing the Channel Blanket’s inherently high throughput, the EXRP-33n maintains the other unique advantages of the Channel Blanket architecture, such as zero-handoff mobility, aggregated TrueReuseTM, and built-in QoS that is superior to WMM, for streaming HD video and voice over wireless applications.

Ramy Buechler, Director of Product Management, stated, “Extricom’s Channel Blanket technology has been widely adopted by businesses and institutions looking for a wireless LAN that delivers high-throughput. The EXRP-30n, Extricom’s proven 2-stream 802.11n AP, has already established effective throughput benchmarks of 190 Mbps (TCP) and 250 Mbps (UDP) per link and is very popular in throughput-intensive environments.

The EXRP-33n will extend the product-line even further with its 450 Mbps air rate and 3×3 MIMO technology”.

Innovative Financing for Primary School Laptops

Getting Laptops in front of Key Stage 1 & 2 primary students can be a huge financial challenge for schools and local authorities. However, with the Fizzbook series of education focused laptops, Solutions House is able to offer a range of financing techniques that could change the face of technology usage across teaching and learning in Primary Schools.

• Parental Purchase
• Parental or PTA Leasing
• Leasing
• Leasing with delayed initial payment
• Ordinary Purchase
• Ideal for Primary education

Parental Purchase for Primary Schools

Solutions House can offer a scheme whereby parents can purchase a Fizzbook for their child through your school, and their purchase will count to a pool of credits which will subsidise any further Fizzbook or Wireless purchases you place with Solutions House. This system can allow you to concentrate capital spending on students that require more financial help, whilst getting more of your students access to a standardised and education focused laptop.

Solutions House will provide help, text images and materials to help with promoting the Fizzbook to parents and are more than happy to provide on-site demonstrations at PTA events or Parents Evenings.

Parental or PTA Leasing

For this scheme the school, Solutions House and a leasing company join forces to make the most of community support for the school.

Although the 5GHz band offers multiple 40MHz-wide channels for wireless networking, the reality is that many deployment scenarios will require some form of cell-planning, which presents a challenge given the unpredictable coverage caused by MIMO. The figure below shows how a cell-based solution is prevented from creating a predictable coverage environment. Each AP will have sporadic and changing coverage, which will inevitably impact other APs using the same channel in the wireless network.

Extricom is the only WLAN technology immune to cell-induced problems and variability of MIMO coverage. In fact, because MIMO improvements are opportunistic, the Extricom architecture actually improves MIMO performance by providing the “best” MIMO path on a packet-by-packet basis to a wireless network client, thus adding robustness and stability to a highly variable technology.

The much-anticipated launch of the Apple iPad in January 2010 was met with a mixture of cheers and groans from the technology media. But however well it may do in the consumer marketplace, the iPad is already attracting immense, and largely positive, attention among those who cover the world of education and IT.

Most commentators think the iPad will make immediate inroads in the education market, an arena where Apple already holds considerable market- and mind-share.

A strong determining factor in the iPad’s education market penetration is wireless LAN, which will be critical infrastructure for making it a viable classroom technology. This means the WLAN must be able to support the greatly increased demand for network resources that will come from iPad users.

In Extricom’s latest Technology Brief, The iPad, Wireless LAN, and Education, Extricom delves into issues that affect integrators and ICT administrators alike, providing an overview of the iPad’s potential as an education tool, discussing its potential impact on wireless LANs in schools and universities, and detailing how WLAN architecture can make a difference in handling the coming wave of iPads.
