Drexel University Selects Aruba for Wireless LAN and Mobility Solution

Aruba Networks, a provider of wireless LANs and unified mobility solutions, has announced that Drexel University has selected and commenced the deployment of its adaptive 802.11n wireless LAN and mobility solution at its Philadelphia campus.

According to Aruba, it will provide airtime fairness, active interference avoidance, and client load-balancing based on its adaptive radio management (ARM) technology to Drexel University.

Kenneth Blackney, associate vice president of core technology at Drexel University, said: “ARM simplifies network set-up, provides predictable network access and performance in densely-packed lecture halls, and ensures ongoing interference-free coverage.

“ARM detects access point cells with excessive loading, and automatically spreads the load over adjacent cells to provide more consistent performance evels to our faculty and students.”
