Delta School District Enriches Student Experience and Staff Efficiency With Smarter Wireless LANs

Delta needed to deploy a reliable wireless infrastructure in each of its schools to accommodate a variety of applications, such as supporting small-footprint laptops provided to special-need students, video surveillance, tablet computers, mobile computing carts equipped with laptops, back-office applications and even the ability to control school Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Introduced to Delta by Meloko Technical Services, a leading Canadian wireless systems integrator, the Ruckus ZoneFlex system would allow Delta to deploy a complete wireless LAN in every school in approximately one year at about one quarter of the cost of alternatives. Delta standardized on the Ruckus ZoneFlex 2942 802.11g and ZoneFlex 7942 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi APs and ZoneDirector WLAN controllers.
