The United Arab Emirates (UAE) University wanted to extend wireless access to its dormitories. However, to do so would have meant a complex and costly infrastructure deployment, involving laying fiber cables and installing ATM switches, wireless switches, and access points throughout its nine campuses. Consequently, the university's staff decided to investigate alternative solutions and instead opted for an optical wireless solution from LightPointe. The solution comprised a FlightSpectrum 155/2000 to provide the passive network layer, with Cisco's Aironet wireless Catalyst switches and Long Reach Ethernet solutions deployed to deliver wireless access to the campuses.
