With the introduction of the iPad and its derivatives, the demand for Wi-Fi continues to skyrocket. Educational institutions, carriers, businesses and households are being forced to provide infrastructure to provide connectivity for devices that do not have an Ethernet port.

Carl will run through some of the trends, observations and challenges that he is seeing in secondary and tertiary education; how smart Wi-Fi can reach further, have higher performance and consistency levels, be completely secure, be simple to deploy and use and, importantly, be affordable to the education sector. He will outline how some unique applications of technology are addressing these barriers.
