IBM has designed and deployed some of the largest wireless networks in education worldwide:A major metropolitan city’s school district wanted more than a million students to have fast access to information available on the Internet. The goal was to deliver wireless connectivity to every classroom in more than 1,000 schools in one year. IBM consultants designed a three-phase implementation program that resulted in a substantial increase in the use of technology and the Net for instruction. The new wireless infrastructure offers near-instant access to valuable information to create a significantly more productive educational environment for both students and teachers.
