The Welsh government recently set aside millions of funds dedicated to enabling digital learning. When the County and City of Swansea (CCS) in South Wales took on a 1:1 tablet rollout for its students across 102 schools, it realized the existing Aruba network was limited. To meet the needs of the tens of thousands of students and staff, CCS turned to Aerohive for a controller-less solution that provided a simple way to manage complex security and access policies.
CCS has deployed over 1,600 wireless access points and plans to expand the network in the coming year to the 18 city libraries serving over 200,000 residents across the County.
With the infrastructure in place to support digital learning, the benefits are emerging. More information about the deployment can be found here.
