Paideia School Provides a High Density Learning Environment with Xirrus

Xirrus 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays Prepare Paideia School to Support Coverage and Density Essential to a 1:1 Initiative

THOUSAND OAKS, California, March 31, 2010 - Xirrus(R), 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 the Paideia School
campus, located in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1971, Paideia's 16-acre
learning facility is located in the historic Druid Hills neighborhood near
Emory University. The school is fully accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools and the Southern Association of Independent Schools,
educating over 900 students from age three through 12th grade across 14
buildings. Xirrus was the only Wi-Fi vendor capable of covering the entire
campus for high bandwidth, high-density Wi-Fi applications, with the ability
to support an eminent 1:1 initiative.

Brian Meeks, Network Administrator for Paideia School, spoke recently
about his decision to deploy Xirrus and said, "Moving towards a 1:1
initiative, we knew we would need to upgrade our network to an industrial
strength Wi-Fi system. Given the fact that our school includes several turn
of the century homes - randomly pulling cables and installing APs everywhere
just to try and get coverage doesn't work well in our environment. We looked
at several vendors - when I found Xirrus and saw the technology that was
built into the Array - I knew this was going to be a gold mine. Xirrus offers
'quality vs. quantity' - we cut our required devices in half by deploying
Xirrus. I didn't believe it was possible to get the kind of coverage we have
now with such ease. With our laptop count rising to match the student and
teacher demands - we are confident we have a wireless infrastructure in place
that will be more than able to support the amount of wireless bandwidth
needed to handle 700+ laptops on campus."

Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays flawlessly supported Paideia's annual auction, one of
their largest financial aid fundraising events. This year's event took place
in a large refurbished warehouse that presented a unique challenge - due to
its lack of an existing wireless infrastructure. Blanketing the entire venue
with 802.11n was effortless using Xirrus Arrays - supplying the density and
coverage required to pull off a prosperous auction.

Continuing, Brian stated, "Xirrus has gone so beyond what other wireless
solutions offer. The amount of engineering and development that has gone into
the Xirrus Array is amazing. There is a plethora of tools built into the
device - each Array is easily configured, from 802.1x to MAC configurations.
It's great to be able to manage the wireless network with such efficiency.
Xirrus offers impeccable service - I know whenever I need support or have an
engineering question someone will be available to help. We have had such
great success with the product - I always recommend Xirrus."
