Jeff Davis County Schools is a primarily rural school district based in Hazlehurst, Georgia. Faced with aging infrastructure and the requirement to meet online testing and 1:1 state goals, the District began evaluating vendors who could offer robust Wi-Fi with intuitive network management. As more and more devices were added to the network, the existing Aruba solution was becoming more and more difficult to manage and struggled to keep up with the traffic.
Another need was for the District to offer secure network access to students and guests without burdening the IT team. Aerohive's Social Login feature was a lifesaver, allowing the District to offer Wi-Fi to students after school hours and to many residents that would not have access otherwise. As a bonus with Aerohive, the IT team can learn more about network use by analyzing smart tag data.
