Smart Accessible Networks for Education: Bridging the Digital Divide
Connecting Education to the Future
Access to broadband connectivity in schools remains a global challenge. While governments and organizations are investing in initiatives like the UNICEF Giga Project to provide broadband access to every school, connectivity alone is not enough. To truly leverage these efforts, schools need secure, reliable, and scalable local networks that can make the most of broadband access and deliver digital learning effectively.
At Allied Telesis, we design network solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by educational institutions. Our technologies enable stable, secure, and energy-efficient networks that can be deployed even in environments with limited infrastructure. For example, our PoE-enabled switches can provide power to connected devices such as access points or cameras, reducing the need for nearby electrical outlets for those devices (while the switch itself is still powered as usual). In addition, remote management capabilities significantly reduce operational costs. With a scalable architecture, schools can begin with a small investment and expand over time, ensuring access to digital platforms and educational resources in historically underserved areas.
Security & Control in the Digital Classroom
In today’s hybrid and fully digital learning environments, security and network management are critical. Our solutions incorporate enterprise-grade protection from the ground up, ensuring safe and seamless learning experiences.
Key features include:
- Automatic traffic segmentation by user or device
- Deep packet inspection to detect anomalies
- Protection against internal threats
- Centralized policy control
- Real-time visibility with proactive alerts
- Wireless controllers for optimized connectivity
- Assurance and AI-powered network assistance
- Simplified configuration
These capabilities reduce complexity in environments with high device density, guaranteeing that digital learning is smooth, secure, and uninterrupted.
