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."
