The wave of wireless campus network construction is spreading around the world: the United States, Europe, Japan, Singapore and other countries have established wireless campus network environment. The wireless campus network of Nanyang University of Science and Technology (NTU) in Singapore is quite large, covering the entire 200-hectare campus. The network adopts IEEE802. 1 1b standard, and the whole wireless campus network can be used by 2 1000 students and 3,000 staff.
The pace of wireless campus network construction in China is also closely following the development of technology. Shanghai Middle School and Peking University are both models of wireless campus network construction.
With its advantages of flexible layout, high bandwidth and wireless access, wireless local area network can break through the limitation of wired network nodes, realize the problem of multiple people surfing the Internet at the same time, greatly increase the number of information points on campus network, facilitate teachers and students to obtain information, and further improve the informationization level of the school. In addition, the introduction of wireless network environment provides an application platform for brand-new wireless multimedia, thus bringing the education informatization construction into a brand-new world.
According to the survey conducted in Shanghai from June 30th to July 7th, 2004, 65,438+08.4% of the students said that if most areas of the campus have wireless Internet access, they would consider buying laptops with Centrino technology and wireless Internet access. WLAN technology has broad prospects in campus wireless applications, and will play a greater role after realizing interconnection with other operators. Therefore, it is of great significance and broad prospects to build a wireless campus network in schools and advocate the application of wireless technology.
