Catholic Education Office Sandhurst Increases Network Efficiency with Xirrus

Xirrus, Inc., the Wi-Fi “Power-Play” that delivers the most wireless coverage, bandwidth, and throughput in the industry announced today the deployment of their 802.11abg+n Wi-Fi Arrays at the Catholic Education Office Sandhurst (CEO), which oversees the schools of the Sandhurst Catholic Diocese, Australia.

The Catholic Education Office Sandhurst provides services and support to the school in the Sandhurst Diocese. The Sandhurst Diocese has 43 Primary Schools and 11 Secondary Schools ranging in size from 16 to 550 students each.

“We wanted a high performance Wi-Fi network that would allow our staff to move around the office, but still have network connectivity, said Tom Sexton, Consultant: Facilities and Resources at the CEO. “We looked at several Wi-Fi vendors, but found them to lack in their ability to penetrate our thick brick walls and deliver the necessary bandwidth for out application needs. Besides being impressed with the performance at DOXA School and Galen Catholic College, they came when we called, installed the product quickly, and guaranteed the signal strength based on their real-world site survey.”

“Any organization looking to unfetter users from the desk should check out the Xirrus Wi-Fi Array—their 802.11n Wi-Fi Arrays offer the same user experience as wired, but without all the headaches and expenses involved with wired networks,” added Tom. “We have a Wi-Fi network that can support all of network traffic—from notebooks to handhelds…from Internet access to streaming video—the 11n Arrays handle it all.”

Tenchu on Wii

My favorite video game of all time is now on the Wii! Too bad I sold my Wii not to long ago, but maybe I might just need to pick one up to play this game. Check out the gameplay videos at the bottom!

Smashing Clock

Not a morning person when your alarm clock goes off? Finally you can do what you want when the alarm goes off; you can smash it! Basically to shut off the alarm, you must smash it as hard as you can with your fist! No more anger management problems in the morning!

Robotic Stepping Stone

Now this is a pretty cool technology. The stepping stones actually rearrange themselves as you keep walking. However this doesn’t seem to be practical to me, unless you are walking on something dangerous like burning hot coal. Also pay attention to how the guy walks. Not only is he sluggish, but he’s got the weirdest posture ever. If they were floating stepping stones, that would be a different story!

Shower Gel iPod Speaker

How many times do you wish that you could listen to your favorite tunes in the shower as you scrub away? I hope I’m not the only one out there. Now you can enjoy using your iPod with this waterproof speaker. It can either be hung or set freestanding in a safe location. Depending on price (which isn’t determined yet), I may or may not get this.
