Providing wireless Internet access to educators and students can be done simply and cost-effectively - making it easier than ever to deliver educational materials and resources right where they're needed. ATAC Instant Mesh Networks offer a fast, convenient way to create hot zones in any educational setting.

Having ready access to Internet-based educational materials and campus resources is almost as important as the subjects taught in classrooms. From providing K-12 educators with valuable learning tools, to enabling wireless connectivity anywhere across a college campus, to creating temporary labs and networks for high school projects - wireless networking is allowing educators to meet increasing demands with fewer resources.

With many standalone buildings of different ages and sizes, installing a wired campus-wide network can be extremely difficult and expensive and is outside the budget of many schools. The ATAC wireless mesh network is an extremely cost effective alternative because it eliminates the need to install backbone wiring. It also works seamlessly indoors and outdoors, making it ideal for extending existing networks to older buildings and for enabling high capacity Wi-Fi access anywhere on campus including outdoor areas and off-campus housing.

Instant Wireless Mesh Networks for your School Application

The high performance ATAC mesh network can also help alleviate the performance challenges universities face with dense populations of heavy Internet users and a proliferation of WiFi enabled computers. With its high capacity and overall performance, the ATAC mesh is capable of handling large network loads including time sensitive services such as voice and video.

• Campus Coverage - Provide a seamless wireless backbone network for an entire campus including connectivity outdoors, between buildings, and inside buildings. Extend existing networks to areas that are difficult to cable, such as older buildings, mobile research sites, and portable classrooms.

• Security and Surveillance - Monitor parking areas, public facilities and walkways and other indoor and outdoor areas. Ethernet surveillance cameras can be installed where needed, connected to an ATAC wireless mesh node, and real-time feeds delivered to a central monitoring area over the ATAC multi-service, broadband network.

• Temporary networks - Quick deployment of temporary networks for events, such as graduations, concerts and student rallies.

• Campus Mobility - Wireless network mobility for campus vehicles and security.

ATAC Advantages

• High capacity wireless backbone supports multiple, simultaneous networking services and applications.

• Substantially lower deployment costs because ATAC wireless mesh networks eliminate the need to pull cable or trench across your campus.

• Networks and networked resources can be extended to places where conventional network wire cannot be cost-effectively installed.

• Data transport is secured across the mesh using industry-standard, strong encryption methods.

• Dual spectrum, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz, for permit maximum flexibility and performance in areas where radio range or wireless interference are key concerns.

• Network nodes can be relocated as often as needed without rewiring the facility.
