Mobility
Building on the foundation of a converged network,
Alcatel-Lucent’s mobility solution for education
facilitates anywhere, anytime access to information.
Our flexible wireless local area network (WLAN)
technology allows a school to deploy laptops that can
be shared and moved between classrooms, to a library
or science lab, or even outside – with ubiquitous
access to the Internet, email, and online school
applications. Wireless VoIP handsets are also
supported, providing a greater degree of mobility for
staff and helping improve overall school security.
For example, a principal can access her email or
voicemail from a handheld device while visiting a
classroom or attending an event in the auditorium. Or
emergency personnel can launch a conference with a
principal and school counselor instantly from a
hallway on the other side of the school.
