Stevens Institute of Technology Expands Campus Wi-Fi Access Using Vivato Base Stations.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- University Admired for Technological Innovation Finds Vivato to be Most Cost Effective for Older Buildings and Large Spaces Vivato, a leading provider of wireless networking See wireless network. equipment, announced today that Stevens Institute of Technology Stevens is known for its rigorous engineering, science, and technological management curricula. Among the prominent research centers of Stevens is the Davidson Laboratory, Wireless Network Security Center, Keck Geotechnical Laboratory, Plasma Physics Laboratory, Nicoll Environmental , one of the country's leading technological universities, has tested and deployed Vivato's Wi-Fi equipment, replacing 30 conventional wireless access points. Stevens Institute of Technology, a test bed for cutting-edge technology, has installed one Vivato base station in its campus library and another Vivato base station atop the roof of the tallest building on campus to provide students with wireless access to the Internet. Stevens provides undergraduate students with 802.11b-enabled laptops and manages the wireless network for 2,100 registered wireless users. "From a network management view, Vivato's equipment is much more cost-effective than traditional access points because one base station covers such an enormous area," said Chris Hose, Director of Network, Telecommunications & Video, Stevens Institute of Technology. "Campus hot zones increase the benefit of using laptops as a study tool." In Stevens' Samuel C. Williams Library and Computer Center, one Vivato VP1200 Indoor Wi-Fi Base Station offers ubiquitous 802.11b coverage throughout the building. The layout of the building, with three stories of densely packed book stacks, posed a challenge for deployment of a wired or conventional wireless network. By mounting a single Vivato base station inside the library on the second floor, students can access the school's wireless network from anywhere in the building. Across campus from the library, a Vivato VP1200 Outdoor Wi-Fi Base Station is installed on the roof of the Wesley J. Howe Center, which, at fifteen-stories, is the tallest structure on campus. From that location, the Vivato base station brings Wi-Fi to the university's outside campus, as well as buildings, including some dormitories. The signal also reaches several blocks out into the streets of Hoboken allowing wireless access to students, faculty, and staff who reside off campus. The university is using the Vivato base stations to test security applications and to help campus security officers track other security vehicles by combining wireless, cellular and mapping technologies. "The Vivato deployment at Stevens Institute of Technology further demonstrates Vivato's unique suitability to provide the most cost-effective solution for large coverage deployments at universities," said Kevin Ryan Kevin Ryan may refer to:
About Stevens Institute of Technology Established in 1870, Stevens Institute of Technology offers baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degrees in engineering, science, computer science, management and technology management, as well as a baccalaureate in the humanities and liberal arts liberal arts, term originally used to designate the arts or studies suited to freemen. It was applied in the Middle Ages to seven branches of learning, the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, and the quadrivium of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. and in business and technology. The university, located directly across the Hudson River Hudson River River, New York, U.S. Originating in the Adirondack Mountains and flowing for about 315 mi (507 km) to New York City, it was named for Henry Hudson, who explored it in 1609. Dutch settlement of the Hudson valley began in 1629. from New York City New York City: see New York, city. New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. , has a total enrollment of about 1,700 undergraduates and 2,600 graduate students. Additional information may be obtained from its web page at www.stevens.edu. About Vivato Vivato is a provider of networking equipment for complete wireless broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 solutions. Vivato's technology is based upon an innovative smart antenna Smart antenna (also known as adaptive array antennas, multiple antennas and recently MIMO) refers to a system of antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms that are used to identify spatial signal signature such as the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use and signal processing See DSP. . Vivato's unique system architecture enables cost-effective, large-scale indoor and outdoor wireless deployments at hotels, airports, seaports This is a list of the world's seaports: Atlantic Ocean
