Special Thanks to This Year's Sponsors!
Contributor Information
The ACM SIGUCCS Fall Conference draws 450-500 college and university computing services professionals from throughout the country, and from all over the world. It is recognized as the premiere conference for Information Technology (IT) user-support professionals in higher education. The conference offers a unique opportunity for vendors to provide information regarding their services and products to managers, technicians, and decision-makers in the higher education IT market.
While the focus of this conference remains the technical presentations, attendees are always interested in viewing and discussing new products and services with corporate representatives. Opportunities for congenial, informal interaction are available at various times during the conference, including during breaks and the poster session.
We have established several levels of participation, providing definitive benefits to contributors. To find out more, please contact the Conference Co-Chair for this year's conference, Gail Farally-Semerad, at gasemerad@widener.edu.

Xirrus
The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array architecture displaces both overlay Wi-Fi offerings
and wired Ethernet to the desktop. The Wi-Fi Array integrates 4, 8, 12,
16, or 24 802.11abg+n radios coupled to a high-gain directional antenna
system into a single device along with an onboard multi-gigabit switch,
Wi-Fi controller, firewall, dedicated Wi-Fi threat sensor, and an embedded
spectrum analyzer. The Wi-Fi Array provides more than enough bandwidth,
security, and control to replace switched Ethernet to the desktop as the
primary network connection. The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array delivers the most coverage,
bandwidth, throughput, and user density than anything else available on
the market today - resulting in a solution that uses 75% fewer devices,
cabling, switch ports, power, space, and installation time compared with
any other offering.
