Dormitory Wireless Is A Snap - Leverage Existing Cat 5 Cable For Cost Effective 802.11n Upgrade
Higher education students today expect Wi-Fi connectivity. Some studies have found that college bound students are bringing three to four Wi-Fi devices to campus, including laptops, tablets, smartphones, iPods, and gaming systems. They expect to use all these devices not just across campus, but also in their dorm rooms.
Until recently, most colleges and universities have concentrated on delivering wireless connectivity in classrooms, lecture halls, libraries and cafeterias. Dorm rooms have been wired which allows students to connect to a wired network. However, students not only desire mobility, but many of today’s devices – particularly tablets and smartphones - do not have an RJ45 connector for an Ethernet connection. Students are demanding 802.11n Wi-Fi in their dorm rooms.
