Carnegie Mellon University upgrades Wi-Fi network with Aruba

Carnegie Mellon University has completed the upgrade of its core campus Wi-Fi network using Aruba Networks's 802.11n wireless LANs.

As part of the upgrade, the university has now deployed 1,540 Aruba 802.11n access points and dual Aruba 6000 Mobility Controllers. This gear delivers high-speed Wi-Fi service to academic and administrative buildings including lecture halls, laboratories, faculty and staff offices, the campus library, and the University Center. The network also includes three mid-campus student dormitories.

Dan McCarriar, director of network and production services at Carnegie Mellon, said: "The new Aruba 802.11n network covers the core of our campus and we're very pleased with the network throughput, coverage, and reliability. The network automatically adapts to local operating environments, and we have received very positive feedback from users about network performance. Network deployment was very straight-forward. The access points are small and unobtrusive, and their antenna patterns support both wall and ceiling mounting."
