Santa Fe School District Adopts Wireless LAN from Meru Networks
In addition, schools have a habit of moving things around every year as their population is reconfigured. It's much easier and cheaper to move the lab down the hall if we don't have wires and cables to worry about. We expect our initial investment in wireless to be more than offset by what we save in making these frequent moves and changes."
After Installing Meru, "All the problems went away"
Before deciding on Meru, Phaklides's technology team had evaluated numerous wireless LAN products and deployed pilot networks from some of the industry's biggest names without success.
"They were having tremendous interference issues in trying to use their web-based learning software with more than a few students at a time," recalled Jack Vigil, CEO of Albuquerque-based Harmonix Technologies, a Meru reseller partner.

Security lax for national treasures
Camera surveillance systems at the Statue of Liberty and other national icons offer inadequate security assistance to the U.S. Park Police, according to a new report from Interior Department Inspector General Earl Devaney. The 44-page report details serious shortcomings in the Park Polices ability to protect icons such as the Statue of Liberty, Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial because of problems with management, training, staffing and technology, among others. The findings are based on interviews with more than 100 police officers. Park police use closed-circuit TV cameras to supplement manpower, but that strategy is ineffective, the report states. U.S. Park Police has been unable to properly staff security posts; instead, U.S. Park Police relies on the use of closed-circuit television camera systems to augment security coverage even though these systems are not continuously monitored and are not fully functional, the IG wrote.
Smartphones Patented... Just About Everyone Sued 1 Minute After Patent ...
I would just like to forewarn everyone that I am going to be filing a new patent that will boldly drive innovation and make me stinking rich while simultaneously crushing the patent industry. I will be patenting 'patents'. Prepare to have your a$$es sued! I will also be filing a patent on the question mark so I can sue anyone that questions me. PS And maybe that inflection at the end of your voice when you ask questions so I have text and speech covered. (reply to this comment) (link to this comment) prior art or another target by another mike on Jan 25th, 2008 @ 10:43am "a mobile entertainment and communication device...with removable storage, an internet connection, a camera and the ability to download audio or video files." I'd submit my Samsung a920 cell phone as prior art but that might get Samsung added to the list of targets.
Hot air: Fox's replay man preps for big game
Here's a name to know going into Sunday's Patriots-Giants Super Bowl: Artie Kempner. Kempner doesn't throw, catch, run, tackle or kick. He won't be in the booth with Joe Buck or Troy Aikman. Still, his impact could rival anyone's at University of Phoenix Stadium. Kempner, who will be directing his second Super Bowl for Fox, is in charge of replays. Two feet in bounds? Knee down? Ball across the plane for a touchdown? It will be up to Kempner to have the replays ready for the game officials and viewers at home. "My greatest nightmare is not having the definitive angle and finding out someone else does," Kempner said the other day from Phoenix. That angle could show up later courtesy of a sideline cameraman from a local TV station or a newspaper photographer.
