Filling in a School’s Inevitable Wireless Gaps
What school’s wireless network doesn’t have nooks and crannies that leave entire classrooms unconnected? Panasonic’s BL-PA100KTA can inexpensively fill them in without the expense of running networking cables. The system works by piggy-backing data onto the building’s AC power network, so data can flow anywhere there’s an outlet. It’s capable of moving up to 190Mbps, can be protected with advanced encryption software and has a list price of $150.
Specs: Top speed: 190Mbps, range: 450 feet, 128-bit AES encryption.
Bottom line: By using a school’s electrical wires, data can reach every room.
