The next frontier of learning
Education is going digital—and with the increased use of data-hungry applications, video and gamification technologies, the role of the network becomes even more critical.
To deliver an optimal learning experience, whether in the classroom or remotely, connectivity is key—and that connection needs to be fast, secure, and affordable. Instant On provides high-performance Wi-Fi coverage both indoors and outdoors to keep students and teachers connected, with little to no technical expertise required.
Benefits
Score top of class for connectivity
Enhance interactive learning
From smart touch whiteboards to immersive apps on tablets, today’s educational experiences rely heavily on bandwidth-hungry devices for multimedia content.
Those devices require Wi-Fi that's not only fast but that also provides foolproof coverage. Instant On APs have Smart Mesh, eliminating dead zones and dropped connections. And because multiple smart clients are supported simultaneously, regardless of device or traffic type, you get improved efficiency and reduced latency.
Instant On smart-managed switches can be used to connect interactive whiteboards and smart TVs as well as APs to create a centralized and high-performance network.
Scale hybrid learning
When students study online at home, Wi-Fi connectivity may slow down for others using the network.
Because Instant On allows you to create separate networks and to monitor and address bandwidth hogs, network performance improves for all users.
Secure the digital school grounds
Learning centers are often the victims of security breaches and targets for ransomware attacks due to a lack of dedicated IT.
The Instant On portfolio comes with built-in security features that protect your network from unauthorized access. Authentication, VLANs, Network Access Control (ACL), and Port Security allow you to segment traffic and define and/or restrict access to each area of the network. And the mobile app provides a single-pane of glass view of all the applications running on your network.
