U.S. Wireless Installs Wireless Network Access at Millsaps College

14 September 2005

U.S. Wireless Online, Inc., which owns and operates one of the nation's largest wireless Internet broadband networks, today announced that it has completed the installation of a wireless network at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi.

Millsaps College has joined the ranks of other progressive institutions of higher learning by being among the first to offer students, faculty and staff wireless network and internet access on its campus. The Millsaps College computer services department, in partnership with Jackson-based AIR2LAN, a division of U.S. Wireless Online, Inc., installed wireless network access in the Library, the College Center, the Bowl and Plaza, and the top two floors of Murrah Hall in the first phase of a project which will eventually cover the
entire campus.

Wireless access adds a new dimension to campus technology by further enhancing the academic environment with a type of service many are used to having off-campus. Students, faculty and staff with wireless laptop or desktop computers now have secure, stable access to email, applications software, and the Web using their campus username and password.

The Millsaps technical services group, under the direction of technical services coordinator Blake Copeland, working with personnel from AIR2LAN, completed the project during an 8-week period prior to the start of fall classes.

"We are pleased and excited about taking the first step to becoming a totally wireless campus," said Richard A. Smith, senior dean of the College. "In so doing, we believe we will increase opportunities for innovative
teaching by our faculty and enhance learning by our students. We also keep pace with the developments at other premier colleges and universities around the nation, ensuring that the teaching and learning environment at Millsaps College continues to be the best in the state."

The equipment utilized in the wireless project is being provided by Aruba Wireless Networks, which recently won out over rival Cisco to provide similar services to Microsoft Corporation on its Redmond, Washington campus and other locations. The Aruba equipment provides users with a 54Mb/s maximum connection rate using the 802.11g standard, which is the best wireless networking performance possible to date.

"We are pleased to partner with Millsaps College to achieve this important milestone," commented Samer N'Ser, Senior Vice President of Technical Operations for AIR2LAN, a division of U.S. Wireless Online, Inc. "The wireless network was selected for its many capabilities especially for increased use and security."

The arrival of wireless connectivity to the Millsaps campus is part of a broader network infrastructure improvement process that began in May, 2003. The goal of this process has been to ensure that the network services offered to students, faculty and staff are more competitive with comparable institutions. These improvements include the replacement of legacy network hardware with state-of-the-art switches and cabling, allowing for 100Mb performance to each desktop unit, an upgrade of core servers, the implementation of an Enterprise backup system utilizing nightly full data backups and enhanced network monitoring and security. Millsaps has invested over $500,000 in these improvements and stands ready to compete with peer institutions.
