Wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular at schools around Australia because they provide exceptional freedom for users. Providing wireless devices for schools builds on Victoria's position as a leader in the use of ICT to enhance learning. This fine balance of innovative flexibility and high-level security provides the ideal next generation of supportive technology for government schools. The Victorian Department of Education & Training has teamed up with Cisco Systems to deploy the largest Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) in the Asia Pacific region, for Victorian public schools. This initiative, known as the Wireless Networks for Schools (WiNS) program, will equip more than 1,600 Victorian public schools with high-speed, wireless access to information, including Internet and intranet resources with industry-leading security.
