Wireless

  • Wireless service around schools is random due to the school's size and initial wireless deployments. Physical impediments such as thick walls, metal structures and wireless activity all interfere with connectivity. Network Services is committed to improving wireless networking by enhancing coverage.
  • If wireless performance is not sufficient and needs improvement, the site would be responsible for the funding of additional wireless density.
  • There is a level of unpredictability with iPad use and the wireless access. Your site may have wireless coverage across most of the building, but the coverage is not very dense. Even if the device has a good wireless signal, a successful user experience will depend heavily on what kind of activity the iPad is being used for, and the number of other devices sharing the bandwidth of the access point.
  • Our experience has been that iPads do not have the same wireless performance as a laptop. If a cart of laptops works in a particular room, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a cart of iPads will work just as well.
