SmartPath Wireless: Applications

It’s the ideal wireless upgrade solution for:

K–12 schools.

SmartPath is a perfect match for K–12 institutions because it’s

affordable and easy to set up and use — which makes it attractive

to busy school IT staff. It’s great for district-wide wireless deployment,

with the ultimate goal of having Wi-Fi coverage in every building.

But it also enables administrators to meet security requirements

when deploying WLANs, particularly when it comes to maintaining

CIPA compliance. SmartPath gives you the ability to set up multiple

VLANs within one wireless network so you can simultaneously lock

down student PC access while allowing staff the freedom to browse

the Internet. You can set up guest VLAN access as well.

Segmenting a school’s WLAN is possible because the system

enables administrators to assign different SSIDs and restrict IP ranges

by individual users or groups of users.

Plus, there are none of the drawbacks of having a network controller

that supports a fixed number of APs — that is, when you’ve reached your

AP limit, you’re not forced to buy another controller along with all of

its associated licensing fees. With SmartPath, the intelligence of the

controllers is embedded in the APs themselves. There is no steep

upgrade path. When it’s time to expand, just plug in extra APs.

Because it supports the latest 802.11n devices, staff members can use

iPad

, iPhone

, or other mobile devices to access information whenever

they’re within range. Having devices on Wi-Fi rather than a cabled

network makes teachers’ jobs easier and maximizes classroom time.

Better network performance. No controller bottlenecks.

Reduce CAPEX in your IT budget. "Pay as you grow.”

Easily handle dozens of simultaneous users with each AP

or thousands of users with several APs.

» Helps you comply with school Web security mandates.

» Use to track school laptops and other tagged assets.

Simple to separate staff equipment from student devices.

QoS and SLA functionality is built in.

Higher learning.

SmartPath is great for universities, colleges, trade schools, and other

higher-education institutions, especially those who need to give students

campus-wide wireless access but are finding it difficult to do as they

experience funding shortfalls.

With 802.11n support, SmartPath gives schools higher throughput

and more channel availability to a myriad of newer wireless devices

(laptops, smartphones, tablets, and others). Even better, SmartPath

is robust enough to support traffic-intensive campuses with hundreds

or thousands of concurrent users.

Plus, SmartPath can enhance a university’s existing network access

control (NAC) efforts where you need to segment users by different

groups. Each group has its own security policies.

SmartPath fits well into large, campus-wide infrastructures without

adding maintenance and management complexity for your limited staff.

You can install the system components in classes and dorms over

a weekend or on break. Hang the APs, plug them in, and walk away.

Any management or configuration work can be done from a central point

and pushed out to all APs simultaneously.

Without controllers to limit growth, SmartPath offers true scalability,

enabling your IT staff to add APs one by one as needed. This architecture

also reduces traffic going up through your network core, improving

overall performance and eliminating single points of failure.

Controller-less design eases campus network upgrades.

Gives staff and students the 802.11n speed they desire.

» Simplifies faculty access to network-shared applications.

Distributed architecture for resilient campus-wide links.

No sending traffic back to LAN controllers at the core.

Simple to update APs. Reconfigure all APs in seconds.

» Easily

provide network access for authenticated users and

Internet-only access for other devices.
