Deploying a Complete Plug-And-Play Wi-Fi System with Advanced Functionality
LONDON--(Business Wire)--
U4EA Technologies, a leading provider of integrated access technology for
unified communications, today announced that its new partner, TrellisWorks, has
successfully delivered and installed a total new WLAN solution to one of its
customers, Dyke House School, a high school with more than a thousand students
based in Hartlepool, UK. 

"In specifying the solution for Dyke House School," said Bob Haskins, Director
of TrellisWorks, "we were looking for a system requiring minimal configuration
but allowing quick and easy monitoring of the access points from the centre, and
providing each of the user groups with its own VLAN, SSID and security
password." 

Installed by TrellisWorks and sourced from the distributor, Wireless
Connectivity, this WLAN solution is based on U4EA's Fusion 300 WLAN Controller
linked to U4EA's Fusion 50 (802.11b/g). An ideal WLAN solution for schools,
campus and academic environments, the Fusion system is optimised for
environments with limited in-house IT or wireless expertise, and scales from a
few users up to 250 users. It has plug-and-play set-up with corporate-grade
functionality such as automatic RF optimisation, load balancing, seamless
roaming, feature-rich security, integrated RADIUS and full carrier-grade voice
QoS." 

"To be centrally managed and cover a number of departments across the school, we
required a wireless LAN solution with ease of installation, advanced security
and future scalability," said Lee Miller, IT Manager of Dyke House School. "The
most cost efficient, U4EA`s products also have a very high level of
functionality including the latest security, and yet the system was set up
intuitively and quickly within about 30 minutes. Our students have laptops, PDAs
and are IP literate, so our wireless network is a cornerstone in our ICT
strategy to enable pupils and staff to have full use and access to the school`s
network and applications in the coming years." 

"We are very pleased that our WLAN solution passed with flying colours," said
Adam O`Hare, U4EA`s European Sales Director. "Academic environments can be very
difficult due to the number of user groups and locations spread across any
campus. However our award-winning WLAN system proved easy to install, resilient
and workable - so bringing real and tangible benefits of wireless to the
school."
