We just did a site survey at the HS here and are thinking about putting Xirrus in place of the mess we have now. They really seem to be powerful AP's with alot of extra functionality. What are your thoughts? Jim Kerns, Technology Director Spencer Community Schools 23 East 7th St P.O.

We have installed 4 Xirrus arrays in the buildings so we can connect wireless anywhere but the custodian room in the basement. We do use the laptop for testing with the students and have not had a connection problem. We leased the laptops for 3 years and are currently in the 2nd year. When we leased we moved to a larger battery so the laptops can run all day without having to be plugged in. Our carts also get abused some...laptops not plugged in, cords hanging out and laptops not put away. We do have teachers scheduled (supposedly) to check the carts every nite...but it doesnt alway happen.
