Long lines can easily form down on the first floor while students wait for a computer station. Inside the lab, students are working on assignments, surfing the Internet, and developing their own web pages. Now, there's no waiting for students with laptops. Carol Henry, director of Information Technology, and her staff have installed wireless network connections that allow students with specially equipped laptops the ability to access LAN without going to the computer lab.
Students can work on class projects in the atrium or take their work into the halls on any floor.
They can even venture outdoors for some sunny motivation. Thanks to these tiny little boxes, students can conduct their research anywhere. Access points are now located in the atrium on the second floor above the vending machines. Each BreezeCom wireless access point box can support up to ten connections. Group project discussions that once tied up terminals for hours can now be conducted outside the lab.
