Aruba for Education

Our networking range has been created in collaboration with Aruba, an HPe company. Why have we decided to work with Aruba for our wired and wireless networking range?

• Education Focused - 36% faster than competing solutions when connecting many devices at a time*- perfect for the classroom
• Affordability - Elimination of hardware and maintenance expenses of a separate controller, while keeping all the performance and reliability advantages.
• Simplicity - fast set-up that does not require network expertise, secure guest access, and free built-in management interface.
• Security - built-in firewall web content filtering and smart application handling for granular visibility and control.
• Reliability - no single point of failover and network survivability to the last access point
• Flexibility - multiple management and deployment options.
