“Customer first, customer last” has long been our corporate mission. Everything we do begins and ends with our customers—from creating smart digital experiences to assembling next-generation networks that amaze with simplicity.

The New Year is a time to reflect on the year’s accomplishments, and our commitment to empowering our customers and partners with Wi-Fi That Works is validated through two recent recognitions.

First, Aruba was named a winner within the 2019 New Products Awards from Spaces4Learning, a publication focused on the physical learning environments in K12 and better education.

Second, we are extremely gratified to be nominated as a finalist for Company of the Year within the Wi-Fi Awards, with the winner to be announced in February.

Transforming the Educational Experience

Technology has radically transformed the educational experience from kindergarten through university studies. Wi-Fi has been an enormous enabler in new ways to interact with students and transform the learning environment, and we are proud to be an important part of this transformation.

Spaces4Learning recognized the Aruba 500 series access point as a Gold winner in its annual awards, which honor the outstanding development achievements that enhance the learning environment. The Aruba 500 series is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 access point for medium-density environments.

A Vote from the WLAN Trenches

We are eagerly awaiting the people’s final judgment on the Wi-Fi Awards. Nominations are made by a committee of Wi-Fi opinion-leaders and practitioners, then the broader community weighs in to decide on the winners. Winners will be announced at the Wireless LAN Professionals Conference (WLPC).

The Wi-Fi Awards are especially meaningful because the winners are chosen by the community of experts who design, build, deploy and manage networks. they’re within the trenches, and that we are delighted to seek out new ways to simplify their challenges.

The committee recognized Aruba for service on many technology standards bodies and driving standards decisions in key capabilities like Wi-Fi 6, WPA3, Enhanced Open (OWE) and Wi-Fi Easy Connect (DPP). Aruba is additionally actively involved within the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance in driving conversations with the FCC and other global entities in opening up the 6GHz spectrum for unlicensed use by Wi-Fi, as well as playing a leading role to deliver Wi-Fi 6 as an onramp to 5G.

Upgrading a University’s Wireless Bandwidth to Keep Up with Student Expectations

See how Panduit did it with some engineering ingenuity

More bandwidth with less overall width. That’s what Panduit’s 28-gauge cable meant to Purdue.

Purdue University is a land-concede university in West Lafayette, Indiana, established in 1869. Today, the university brags an enlistment of 40,451 understudies and 16,466 staff. The innovation needs of the understudies and staff are served from two server farms and two information cases that house supercomputers, in addition to 700 media transmission rooms. In excess of 500 miles of copper cabling and right around 600 miles of fiber-optic cabling convey IP-based administrations, with the help of the university’s main goal of educating, learning, research, and effort.

Reviews have demonstrated that understudies are content with 100% inclusion, and ITaP has discovered the update has diminished the number of rebel passages that understudies had been utilizing in the habitation lobbies. This ensures the uprightness and execution of the system. ITaP is satisfied with the living arrangement lobby arrangement, as it met their targets of 100% inclusion, while the 28 AWG arrangement gave the space reserve funds and execution that enabled them to reuse the existing framework. “We’ve been truly satisfied,” Daniel Pierce said. “We know precisely what we’re getting when we use Panduit and it as often as possible beats what it was intended to do.” The remote development in scholarly structures is additionally meeting desires and will keep on being checked, refined, and extended, as a major aspect of the progressing exertion. ITaP sees the remote arrangement as a work in advancement, constantly being checked and changed to give the remote experience that measures up with understudies and staff.
