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.

How Remote Data Backup Works

Functionality

The Gigasoft software runs a daily fully automated offsite data backup of your important files and data.

After installation of the software you select the files and/or directories that you wish to backup.

Then after encryption and compression a full offsite back-up will be made from the selected files. These files are sent to the Gigasoft offsite servers for safe storage through a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection.

From that moment on, a daily incremental backup will be made of all new and changed files. This is at a time of the day determined by yourself. Your data is constantly being replicated from our data centre to another secure data storage location to ensure that there’s always a copy available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

You can access and use your remote backup data at any time and from anywhere through a standard internet browser.

You will receive reports concerning data backup status, file sizes as well as an overview of all activities.

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.
