Universities are adjusting to the needs of the all wireless generation – increasingly tech savvy students for whom anytime, anywhere network access has become essential.
On college campuses, wireless networks are already much more than just a convenience. Students and faculty rely on the wireless LAN for connectivity everywhere they go, whether downloading lecture slides, watching videos or communicating through
VoIP and messaging.

While wireless access brings enormous benefits, it also brings great challenges both in managing the
network itself and in meeting the high expectations
of users who expect always-on connectivity.
