I am a big proponent of Xirrus. Site visits are free and Eric Dean
would be the guy to get ahold of [email protected]. They guarantee
coverage after they put in the arrays, they are easy to put in and
manage. Over all I have been very pleased with the arrays we have and
we have been using them for more than a year now.

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of
things

What are your thoughts on the Xirrus in comparison to other wireless
solutions? We just did a site survey at the HS here and are
thinking about putting Xirrus in place of the mess we have now.
They really seem to be powerful AP's with alot of extra
functionality. What are your thoughts?

We have 28 laptops on carts that gets used in our elementary and
middle school. We have installed 4 Xirrus arrays in the buildings so
we can connect wireless anywhere but the custodian room in the
basement. We do use the laptop for testing with the students and
have not had a connection problem.
We leased the laptops for 3 years and are currently in the 2nd
year. When we leased we moved to a larger battery so the laptops can
run all day without having to be plugged in. Our carts also get
abused some...laptops not plugged in, cords hanging out and laptops
not put away. We do have teachers scheduled (supposedly) to check
the carts every nite...but it doesnt alway happen. W

We are looking into getting a wireless lab for the middle school.
In some of your experiences, can you give me some pros and cons?
