LightPointe Offers Cost-Effective Optical Wireless Solution for K-12, Higher Ed

The results of the implementation of the LightPointe systems are faster connectivity and increased productivity. Computer users at New School University gained a dramatic increase in Internet-access speed, since LightPointe products provide up to 100 times more bandwidth than standard T1 lines. Students and faculty were impressed with the speed at which they could download files, and administrators found information transfer with government agencies was much quicker. "Files that had taken minutes to transfer were sending in seconds. People kept calling me and saying, 'Wow! What did you do to my computer?' " says Richard Burger, network project manager at New School University. "That made me [realize that implementing LightPointe's products was] the right thing."
