Lessons in Wireless for K-12 Schools

First generation WLAN technology had a host of issues that made broad implementation expensive and risky, but a new generation of technology has solved these problems. With advances in the security, management and investment protection of wireless network equipment, schools can roll out a pervasive wireless network today and gain economic and technological benefits that will pay back many times over. This paper discusses the specific needs, challenges and solutions associated with implementing secure WLANs for K-12 schools.
