Success Stories
Valdosta State University
An institution with a commitment to technology, Valdosta State University (VSU) wanted to provide port-per-pillow, 24 x 7 connectivity to enable students to access Internet resources outside the traditional hours of the university lab setting. After it considered (and ruled out) wiring the residence halls, VSU looked to RoamAbout wireless, an extremely cost-effective, yet high-performance, complement to their existing technology.

The North Broward Preparatory Schools
The North Broward Preparatory Schools faced a challenge not unlike that confronted by many other schools today: taking advantage of available technology while working with limited financial resources. The schools sought to put a laptop into the hands of every student thanks to an infrastructure that offered increased speed and reliability. A network with the Enterasys RoamAbout, Matrix E7, and Vertical Horizon solutions became the smartest choice.

Hofstra Law School
As more student resources have become accessible electronically, the Hofstra University School of Law saw the need for an expanded network increase proportionately. The Law School first considered a hard-wired network expansion, but found that the cost to upgrade and expand their existing infrastructure was double the potential cost of a new wireless network. The end result: Hofstra Law School selected Enterasys Networks and its RoamAbout wireless solution.
