Chowan University has selected Aruba's adaptive wireless LAN and user-centric networks for its 300 acre Murfreesboro, North Carolina campus. The university supports approximately 1,000 students and features a campus-wide fiber optic network.

Chowan University has selected Aruba for the new campus wireless network on the basis of its high performance adaptive wireless LAN technology, comprehensive firewall and wireless intrusion detection capabilities, and it's life cycle cost advantage.

 

"Our first deployment phase includes 128 wireless access points, including outdoor radios to cover our athletic fields, and Aruba's new MMC-6000 Multi-Service Mobility Controller, which features a field-upgradable design and centralized architecture to simplify system deployment and maintenance,” explained Jay Howell, Chowan University's Executive Director of Information Technology in a statement to the press.

 

 “Over time we can add additional indoor and outdoor access points, as well as new features such as remote access for faculty and administrators, without sacrificing our initial investment."

 

Aruba's user-centric networks securely deliver the enterprise network to users by integrating adaptive WLANs, identity-based security, and application continuity services into a cohesive, high-performance system.

 

"Chowan University is typical of many small to mid-sized institutions that want to deploy pervasive wireless networks with a rich suite of features and uncompromising security," said Keerti Melkote (News - Alert), Aruba's co-founder and head of products and partnerships. "Aruba offers a range of modular, scalable Multi-Service Mobility Controllers -- including our new 80Mbps MMC-6000 for large deployments and MMC-3000 series controllers for small to mid-tier applications -- to meet these needs within virtually any budget range while providing a growth path to meet tomorrow's requirements."
