A school district in Colorado is giving the checkered flag to a new VoIP system.
Boulder Valley School District in Colorado is getting a high-tech system that will connect the area’s around the district’s schools with Wi-Fi and also implement VoIP. There are municipalities that aren’t this fortunate. Many of them.
Xirrus is deploying the network for the massive district with 29 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, 10 high schools and more.
According to TMCnet:
The district-wide deployment includes a high-speed Wide Area Network, Voice over IP implementation, and a video distribution system. Theupgrade is part of anverall infrastructure upgrade plan to support new types of teaching including distance learning, e-learning, and the distribution of educational video content directly to students using laptops in the classroom.“Our legacy Wi-Fi network used thin access points and controllers and couldn’t handle the density or flash traffic patterns that were occurring in our classrooms,” said David Williamson, chief information officer of the school district. “We looked at several different options and we found that Xirrus’ solution provided the most coverage and capacity per cable drop allowing us to support a wide variety of educational enrichment applications and to better serve our community.”
