Mexico university selects Aruba

Universidad del Valle de M'exico, the second largest private university in Mexico, with

85 000 students and 7 000 faculty members, is deploying Aruba's adaptive wireless LANs across its 35 campuses throughout Mexico, says CNN Money.

The growth in students, coupled with extensive use of digital library resources, online and collaborative learning, and team-building programmes, has increased the demand for campus-wide wireless access to the Internet and UVM's digital libraries.

A patchwork legacy wireless network was difficult to manage, offered limited security, and could not handle growing traffic volume.

Powerline networking offers promises to people who want a network in their entire home, but can't get a decent signal with a wireless router and don't have networking cable throughout the entire home, states I4U.

Buffalo has a new powerline networking kit that promises speeds of up to 200Mbps over the power lines already installed in your home.

The kit, called the PL2-UPA-L1/S, is 30% smaller than previous Buffalo powerline networking components and can be used to provide network connectivity to anything from your computer to your game console, anywhere in the home that an AC outlet is available.
