Xirrus, Inc. is set to deploy a high performance Wi-Fi network across Eastern Sierra Unified School District (ESUSD). The deployment will cover all seven schools and the administration facilities spread across eight towns in Northern California.

 

"In addition to offering wireless access throughout each school, the Xirrus Wi-Fi network will also provide the students of the rural communities with Wi-Fi Internet access," said Bob Hurst, director of IT at ESUSD.

Because our Wi-Fi network will be the primary connection for all of our students, we needed a reliable network that would give us the flexible security to manage student access times. We choose Xirrus because it gave us the greatest coverage, bandwidth, and student capacity with far fewer devices to deploy and manage -- zero frustrations."

 

The district-wide Wi-Fi deployment is part of an overall technology upgrade that includes over 300 Apple (News - Alert) MacBook computers and Internet connectivity for students and faculty in order to further enrich the district's curriculum, online project collaboration, and extend reference materials to students where libraries are limited.

 

"The forward-thinking leadership of the Eastern Sierra Unified School District has provided a state-of-the-art wireless network for their students and surrounding communities," said Charles Bettinelli, regional sales manager at Xirrus. "They now have a powerful Wi-Fi network that is capable of supporting a wide range of educational tools both now and in the future, and we are glad to be a part of it."
