Frisco ISD Improves Digital Learning by Deploying Xirrus 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Xirrus®, the Wi-Fi "Power-Play" that delivers the most coverage, bandwidth, and user density in the industry, announced today the deployment of Xirrus high performance 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays across Frisco Independent School District located in Frisco, Texas, USA. With 43 school campuses serving 31,000 students, Frisco ISD is one of the fastest growing school districts in Texas and the United States growing by 12 to 30 percent annually for the past 10 years. Frisco ISD has 43 school campuses.
Talking about Frisco ISD’s laptop initiative, Melissa Fouche, Executive Director of Technology & Information Services at Frisco ISD, said, “Our goal is to give [our students] the best digital learning environment as possible. We want them to have a broader community of learners than just their classroom or school, or ISD – we needed that wireless. We wanted the wireless to be robust enough and have enough throughput that we could do state mandated testing on those laptops and not have to stress if it was going to work or not.”
Melissa continued explaining about the dedicated service received from Xirrus by saying, “They tell you what they are going to do for you and then they actually do it. It’s seriously refreshing to be told this is what we’re going to do for you, this is when we’re going to do it, this is how we’re going to do it, and this is what is going to cost — then it plays out exactly as they told you – is wonderful!”
