The number of students on campus using sophisticated mobile devices is growing as fast as the demand for new services. This new "mobile campus," however, is increasing the burden on campus networks. IT managers face growing demands for ubiquitous connectivity, high performance, fast access, and enhanced data and network security.

Brocade helps institutions of higher education overcome these challenges by offering high-performance, reliable, and secure mobile networking solutions that deliver:

  • Unique, adaptive 802.11n architecture for maximum bandwidth and scalability in high-density deployments
  • Comprehensive wireless intrusion detection/prevention policy compliance enforcement
  • Unified wired/wireless networking with 1 GbE PoE+ uplinks and aggregation

Brocade wireless networking solutions provide "mobile campuses" with several benefits, including:

  • Dynamic Wireless LAN (WLAN) threat management and detection of rogue access points and WLAN threats
  • Unmatched reliability and advanced quality of service
  • High port density, PoE/PoE+, and integrated redundant power supplies, reducing closet and rack space requirements
  • Reduced power and cooling requirements, helping to lower costs
  • Simplified configuration and management, helping to ensure an easy transition and reduce training
