Wi-Fi clocks are configured to receive a precise time signal from your school's network time server. This means that all of your clocks within your building are synchronized, which promotes responsi- bility, encourages punctuality and reduces tardiness because students and staff see the same time throughout your campus. With a five-year battery life and the ability to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time changes, Wi-Fi clocks present a huge opportunity to save on maintenance time and cost. Wi-Fi clocks are battery operated and portable, and use existing Wi-Fi net- work infrastructure to receive the time signal, rather than a signal from a master clock. This means there is no need for a system controller, license fees, managed services or other costs. At installation, the clocks arrive pre- configured and automatically adjust to the correct time. They will continue dis- playing the accurate time without manu- al adjustments of any kind. In fact, there isn't a manual adjustment button or knob on the back of the clock, which prevents tampering with the clock's accuracy. In addition, the technology's staggered wake times mean that you will not notice any extra load or slow-down of your existing Wi-Fi system. Are Wi-Fi Clocks Right for Your School? Whether Wi-Fi clocks are right for your school depends on your needs and budget. The lower cost of entry for a synchronized timekeeping system is a huge benefit for organi- zations that may not require or have the resources for a more robust wired or wire- less system. Without the need for addition- al infrastructure or equipment, you can easily expand your Wi-Fi clock presence simply by purchasing additional clocks. Consider the benefits: all clocks with- in a school are precisely synchronized; clocks rely on the existing Wi-Fi network and come pre-configured from the manu- facturer; there is no need for a system con- troller, license fees, managed services or other costs; clocks are battery-operated and portable, and clocks have a five-year battery life; staggered wake times for unnoticeable network load; Wi-Fi, FCC and ICC cer- tified, and RoHS compliant with SNTP time reference. Wi-Fi Clocks in Action St. Cloud State University, the second- largest public university in Minnesota, has installed Wi-Fi clocks in eight build- ings throughout the 100 acre campus. The university now has precise time with no discernible impact on the speed of its Wi-Fi network. Furthermore, it expects to save on maintenance costs with the clocks' five-year battery life.
