Optimizing Your Network Infrastructure for the Mobile Device Influx

• As technology becomes more and more ingrained in schools and many districts are implementing wireless technology to help with things like state online testing requirements, the demand for a 21st century classroom has rapidly grown. Wi-Fi devices are increasingly being used as part of K-12 learning programs like 1 to 1 learning, while more schools are allowing students to use their own devices. As a result, reliable and consistent wireless connectivity has become a key requirement for instruction, but is often the biggest challenge school IT departments face.
• Aerohive's chief Wi-Fi architect, Devin Akin, will be moderating a panel titled, "Optimizing Your Network Infrastructure for the Mobile Device Influx." This presentation is designed to help attendees tackle the challenge of implementing mobile-friendly Wi-Fi in schools.
• This panel will feature Aerohive customers Bradley Chambers, director of IT for Brainerd Baptist Church and School and Phil Hardin, executive director of technology for the Rowan-Salisbury School System-recently ranked in the top 10 technology-savvy school districts nationwide in the Digital School Districts Survey. Both IT directors ave overhauled their wireless networks with Aerohive to handle today's 21^st century classroom demands and will speak to how other school IT departments can optimize their network infrastructures to create mobile device friendly environments.
• The session will be held Monday, June 24 from 4:15-5:15 p.m. CT in the Technology Infrastructure Pavilion, Hall D at the San Antonio Convention Center.
