BUILD THE RIGHT NETWORK
THE FIRST TIME
Keeping pace with digital learning in
primary education
Technology is transforming the way we
educate our children. Classrooms are
changing and are shifting away from rows
of desks, to an environment that promotes
collaboration between students, teachers
and learning devices.
Textbooks are swapped for mobile devices
and printed exams to online assessments.
BYOD is replacing wired computer labs.
Skype and Google Hangouts are fuelling
new study groups. And personalised learning
programmes are developed to meet the
individual needs of each student.
Improving digital learning with a
mobile first experience
The digital classroom requires anytime/
anywhere access to cloud-based apps like
Google Apps for Education and Office 365e.
It provides guest access, encourages student
collaboration and prioritises critical learning
apps such as Online Assessments.
Digital learning, especially in one-to-one
environments, means school districts need
Wi-Fi that can support the influx of mobile
devices, along with the bandwidth-hungry
applications running on them.
Aruba Instant 802.11ac Wi-Fi solutions are
well suited to handle increased network
traffic as more users, devices and apps
connect to classroom Wi-Fi. And with Aruba
ClientMatch, school districts can optimise
client roaming across the campus and
enhance their Wave 2 WLAN performance.
Our robust switching portfolio offers
performance, scalability and Smart Rate
multi-gigabit ports to support the mobile-
first campus.
Prioritise critical learning while
protecting student data
As educational video and gaming
applications are used to enrich learning,
performance can be a challenge.
Aruba Instant AppRF provides granular
visibility and control over applications and
how they are performing.
This allows district IT personnel to
prioritise critical learning and online
testing applications and block or throttle
applications like Netflix traffic.
To ensure a secure digital work
environment, Instant offers a built-in
firewall for different levels of access for
guests, students and teachers. Integrated
web content filtering ensures compliance
with CIPA and blocks access to malicious
sites or inappropriate content. n
