罗斯维尔市学校的Byod和Aruba Wi-Fi加强了学生的参与和合作。
当劳拉议会到达罗斯维尔市学区时,父母,老师和管理员对过渡到以移动设备为中心的数字学习方法的兴趣很强。
"Like so many communities, our constituents saw the value of a mobility-enabled education for preparing our students to succeed academically and in life," explains Assem, the CTO of this TK-8 Northern California school district. "While desktop devices may continue to play a role, the future is unquestionably mobile."
无论学习到哪里,都很棒的Wi-Fi
以前,使用Wi-Fi是一场斗争。现在,当学生需要拿出设备时,就没有停机时间,因为它可以正常工作。

With the school board keen to embrace a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) mobility model, supplemented by district-issued supplemented by district-issued Chromebooks and laptops, it became clear the district's existing wireless infrastructure wasn't up to the task. State-mandated online assessments further overloaded the classroom Wi-Fi.
"With the legacy system, adjacent wireless access points (APs) would 'fight' over a nearby device rather than achieving smooth handoffs," says Assem. "For users, this caused frustrating performance breakdowns and sapped educational time, even though an AP was in plain sight."
As mobile became the norm, Roseville's students and teachers needed reliable and seamless Wi-Fi wherever learning happened, indoors or out.
汇报说:“作为我们更广泛的技术目标之一是标准化,阿鲁巴提供了最整体的解决方案。”“它包括将系统连接到我们的有线LAN所需的Wi-Fi和网络开关,该开关也正在过渡到HPE网络设备。”
利用联邦电子利率资金计划使Roseville能够通过来自Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company Aruba的企业级网络成本效率地替代其旧系统。该地区的网络分析师克里斯·约翰逊(Chris Johnson)说:“通过利用电子率,我们支配了Wi-Fi现代化成本的约50%。”
阿鲁巴802.11ac Wave 2 Instant Access Points for Gigabit Wi-Fi
The district deployed阿鲁巴Instant Wi-Fito 19 elementary and middle schools, a district office, a student services facility and a warehouse/food services building. The wireless network supports 11,000 students and 1,600 faculty and staff.
To meet the demands of mobile first learning, the district more than doubled the density of access points. With nearly 700阿鲁巴Instant Access Points(IAP),802.11ac Wave 2网络在高密度教室中提供了快速的有线状性能。
简化安装符合严格的时间表
当第三方运输错误导致设备严重到达时,Aruba Instant的选择迅速被证明是至关重要的。Aruba Instant是无控制器的企业级Wi-Fi解决方案,非常容易设置。
“要在八月份恢复学校之前部署Wi-Fi,需要每天完成四个站点,”该地区解决方案提供商Team One Team Inpyn说,也位于加利福尼亚州罗斯维尔。“ Aruba的IAP,加上我们设计的实施策略,将典型的安装时间从几周到几天中缩短了。”
汇集说:“ Aruba Instant在提供高性能Wi-Fi的同时提供了许多效率机会。”“只要有插件,它就会减轻IT资源和预算的压力。”
An Intelligent, Flexible Edge
To support its digital learning efforts and the new gigabit Wi-Fi, the district deployed nearly 400 PoE+-enabled阿鲁巴2530 and 2930 switches. These cost-effective access switches have enterprise-grade features and are simple to deploy and manage. With PoE+ support, the district can power IP phones, security cameras and other devices directly from the switch.
Inpyn说:“利用POE+开关减少了与采购和运行电缆相关的费用,并节省了壁橱中的空间和热量。”“这加起来可以节省大量资金。”
基于策略网络访问控制的Aruba ClearPass
Inpyn说:“安全是每个地区的首要关注点,使其成为Roseville的工作重点。”“ ClearPass提供了当今地区需求的能力,以及解决未来需求的选项。”
WithClearPass, Roseville can provide a safe BYOD environment by managing access rights for each person and device. Teachers and administrators are granted permissions based on the applications and data they need. Students can access their virtual workspaces, and the Internet, but are restricted from other areas of the district's network. Visitors and other guests have easy access to the Wi-Fi.
约翰逊说:“没有ClearPass,我们需要一支IT人员来管理设备和访问。”“我们期待利用ClearPass可以简化安全性并加强访问的多种方式。”
Aruba Airwave用于网络管理和优化
Inpyn说:“提供像罗斯维尔(Roseville)一样的精益初等教育IT员工,并使用有效的优化软件至关重要。”“ Airwave的功能提供了强大的工具组合和直观的仪表板,该仪表板易于从任何地方和任何设备上访问。”
Providing deep network insights and user-friendly controls,空波在用户中断发生之前,对于微调性能和确定问题至关重要。另外,学区可以确保对教育和行政应用程序的一致经验,并限制可用于非必需应用程序的带宽。
Exceptional Learning Experiences
Students and teachers in Roseville immediately recognized the benefits of robust, high-capacity, resilient Wi-Fi.
据校长德克·加西亚(Derk Garcia)称,最重要的结果是随着学生和员工在整个教室中的移动,无线的无线体验。
他说:“教育时间太珍贵了,无法浪费试图弄清楚如何连接设备。”“至关重要的是要通过消除技术挫败感来增强学生和员工的能力。现在,当学生需要拿出设备时,就没有停机时间,因为这只是有效的。”
Looking Ahead
As mobile and IoT innovations provide more opportunities to improve teaching and learning, the Roseville schools' network is ready. For instance, IoT sensors to manage HVAC, lighting and blinds can help mitigate energy costs automatically.
在课堂上,智能电视,互动式白板和其他设备提高了互动,改善了协作并鼓励学生参与度,同时创造了当今数字孩子们期望的灵活学习空间。实现这一愿景取决于伟大的Wi-Fi。
"In short," Assem concludes, "our new infrastructure and our relationship with Team One are real wins for our district, and most importantly, for the students we serve."
