New York S Fashion Institute Of Technology Adopts 802.11 N Network From Meru

摘要

Student residences at the Manhattan-based Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) have gained high-performance wireless Internet access with a new IEEE 802.11 n draft 2.0 wireless LAN from Meru Networks. The new Meru 802.11 n WLAN, based on Meru s virtualized wireless architecture, expands and upgrades the existing Meru wireless network first installed in 2004 in academic buildings on FITs West 27th Street campus in Chelsea. By the end of 2009, FIT, part of the State University of New York (SUNY), expects to complete an upgrade of its entire wireless network to 11n, bringing campus-wide high-performance access to the school s 10,000 students at five times the access speed of earlier 802.11a/b/g standards.
