Benefits: The Advantages of Partnering with Xirrus and AirWatch
The Xirrus-AirWatch joint solution brings together the best-in-class high performance wireless provider with the world’s leading mobile security and enterprise mobility management provider to ensure secure mobile access for Houston County’s fleet of devices. While Xirrus enforces access policies as the mobile devices access the network, AirWatch uses its agent and/or profiles installed on the device to enforce access policies from within. The Xirrus-AirWatch solution provides the school board’s devices with comprehensive protection.
With AirWatch, Houston County’s IT administrators can track board-issued devices, configure policies and settings, distribute apps and secure access to school networks and resources all through a single Web-based console. AirWatch allows IT administrators to ensure devices are compliant with school policies and monitor violations in real-time.
Wireless technology is the new norm; it is among the most effective tools to enhance the learning experience and create a more engaging atmosphere for students. Xirrus provides the scalability, upgradability and simplicity of management that the Houston County School District required to implement an elastic network to meet the needs of students for many years to come. Unlike any other vendor, Xirrus modular Arrays enable capacity to be scaled by adding additional modules to the platform. Additionally, software programmable radios can be switched from 2.4 GHz to 5
GHz when needed as newer devices are deployed. The ability to scale, upgrade and easily manage mobile devices enabled Houston County School Board to roll out their BYOD program as planned.
With the explosion of smartphones and tablets, consumers expect to connect wirelessly whenever and wherever they want. Organizations require high-bandwidth connections to send andreceive voice, video and data from any device, and no vendor delivers this better than Xirrus. The Array-based solutions from Xirrus draw from cellular tower design principles to provide wired- like reliability, increased user density and capacity as well as optimal security. Xirrus solutions perform under the most demanding conditions and have lower infrastructure requirements than traditional AP-based Wi-Fi systems. When integrated with business and IT objectives, Xirrus helps organizations do more than ever before.
Mobile technology adoption in the classroom enhances learning by enabling teachers to engage students in new, more effective ways. Xirrus delivers wireless that is scalable, simple to deploy, and very cost effective.
