Cornell University has started deploying Aruba Network's adaptive wireless LANs across its Ithaca, N.Y., campus. Once fully deployed, the campus, which encompasses more than 20,000 students, 14,000 faculty and staff, and some 260 buildings spread across 745 acres, will include 4,500 wireless indoor and outdoor access points.

The first phase of Cornell's deployment involves replacing almost 900 legacy wireless devices with Aruba's wireless access points, including the new 802.11n devices, all managed by Aruba's 80-Gbps MMC-6000 Multi-Service Mobility Controller. The network will be expanded thereafter to cover the entire campus.
