1. Wireless Networking within a high density of classrooms

Wireless networking can be hard to manage within an educational environmant. Schools have many classrooms, close together, in three dimensions. Traditionally, access points must be placed far apart to avoid channel conflict, and close together to provide high bandwidth. The must be installed according to a channel plan based around three non-overlapping channels.

Meru’s single channel architecture enables an access point to be deployed in every classroom without fear of interference and without need for planning, even with 802.11n.

2. High density of students

Each classroom must support many students (30+) all logging in at the same time, all working at the same time. Larger shared areas like cafeteria and lecture theatres may have hundreds of users in a confined space. Traditional access points unacceptable performance due to grossly inefficient contention and airtime congestion.

Meru Network's air Traffic Control provides more bandwidth for more users, and distributes the bandwidth evenly. Student log-in time for a classroom of thirty has been shown to decrease from thirty minutes to four by deploying Meru!

3. Multi-media Teaching Applications

Real time applications such as video demand sufficient, constant bandwidth. Meru wireless networks ‘fair airtime’ guarantees acceptable bandwidth, and acceptable application performance.
