Wireless Earns High Marks for Secure, On-Demand Access at a Low Cost

Overview The University of Toronto is one of the largest universities in Canada, with 52,800 students and 9,588 faculty and staff. The frequent use of the network and the Internet increased to the point where the university was forced to implement a 500 megabyte-per-week policy in order to control bandwidth usage. Furthermore, with most of the university's students bringing their own notebook computers to campus, the administration wanted to make it more convenient for them to connect to the network with their own equipment. After two months, the university selected Enterasys Networks' RoamAbout wireless solution, proposed by Enterasys and its partner. Having wireless cards in their laptops enables students to access the university network from locations that did not have traditional network connections. The RoamAbout's 128-bit encryption delivers the highest security available in the industry.
