Aruba Networks deploys wireless LAN at the University of Macau

Sep 02, 2008 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- ARUN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Aruba Networks Inc (NYSE:ARUN), a provider of wireless LANs and secure unified mobility solutions, today (2 September) announced that the University of Macau has selected the company to deliver a secure wireless LAN system.

Under the contract, Aruba has deployed a campus-wide Aruba adaptive wireless LAN at the University of Macua's Taipa campus.

The urban campus covers 572,000 square feet and supports more than 6,000 students and 800 faculty and staff.

The University of Macau has replaced its legacy Wi-Fi network comprised of autonomous access points with Aruba's centrally managed wireless LAN, which provides automatic load balancing, a role-based firewall for security, and fault-tolerant wireless controllers.

The new network, which has centralised management, reportedly lowers staff overhead and simplifies troubleshooting for the university.

Financial details of the deployment were not available.
