Enhanced Wireless Network to Connect Campuses and New Faculty Building; Blazing a Path for Next-Generation 802.11n Environment

Bluesocket, the leader in trusted wireless access and enterprise mobility, has announced that Anglia Ruskin University is deploying Bluesocket wireless and mobility throughout two campuses in Cambridge and Chelmsford. The solution - including Bluesocket's new BSAP-1800 802.11n Access Points - will create an all-wireless campus with improved scalability, reliability and control while paving the way for a complete 802.11n environment.

Anglia Ruskin recently expanded its wireless access for students and faculty staff with 100 Bluesocket BSAP-1540 802.11 a/b/g APs and BSC-5200 Controllers, giving the IT administration centralised control and ease of management across a secure wireless network. Anglia Ruskin is now preparing for a complete 802.11n wireless transition in their new state-of-the-art Faculty Building. This initial phase brings the next generation of wireless access to the campus while paving the way for the University's adoption of 802.11n technology.

Bluesocket solutions provide a scalable, secure and reliable wireless network, delivering a clear and cost-effective path to 802.11n expansion while creating a solid foundation for a robust next-generation enterprise mobility infrastructure. Announced in December 2007 and available now, the BSAP-1800 is the first enterprise-grade with 2nd generation MIMO antenna technology, offering customers market-proven performance and coverage advantages. It also delivers full-feature performance with a single-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution, reducing deployment costs and eliminating the need for customer to make trade-off decision between performance, security, and other critical wireless network functions that other vendor products force.

The BSAP-1800 is completely plug-and-play, offers Bluesocket's DynamicRFTM technology and requires no manual configuration. It includes two 11n-based dual bands radios, a custom embedded antenna array with options for external antennas. The BSAP-1800 is available now through Bluesocket reseller partners.
