Aruba Networks said it was chosen by Tulsa Public Schools in Oklahoma to deploy an adaptive wireless network across its schools with the goal of using fewer access points and achieving better capacity than competing alternatives. The district, which serves about 42,000 students, had been using a system of more than 150 access points. During the new deployment, the district plans to deploy more than 1,000 access points across 90 schools.
CalAmp Corp. and Kepware Technologies said they have teamed up to launch Air Traffic Controller, a distributed communications processor that optimizes bandwidth over wireless networks.

In other news, CalAmp entered an agreement to lease a 100 KHz portion of licensed 900 MHz spectrum from Space Data Radio L.L.C. The agreement gives CalAmp spectrum for bundling with wireless communications systems designed for applications in utilities, public safety, oil and gas, and other markets.
