Aruba for Education
Wireless solutions that just work
Aruba wireless network supports fast and seamless digital learning
Australia’s education sector has undergone a major shift. The rapid and unexpected need for large-scale digital learning has put many schools and universities under enormous pressure. Delivering quality learning outcomes means providing innovative and immersive digital experiences, both on campus, and at home. For many institutions, however, the technology to support effective digital learning is lacking, and the education experience is suffering.
The rapid transition to remote learning also means many schools and universities are now at much higher risk of cyberattack than ever before. In June 2020 alone, 4.7 million malware incidents were detected in the education industry worldwide1.
To deliver optimal learning outcomes, you need the right foundation: a powerful, next-generation Aruba wireless network that can support fast, seamless digital learning, with trusted security at its very core.

How can your school or university meet new digital learning challenges?
Throughout Australia, educational institutions have had to rapidly adapt to support quality remote learning. For most, returning to pre-Covid-19 methods simply isn’t an option. Now is the time to re-assess your school’s technology foundations and ensure you’re equipped for whatever lies ahead. These resources can help:
Video Series: Securing the school network amidst escalating threats
Cyberattacks across Australia are increasing and while some organisations have been making headlines, it is still the education sector that remains the most targeted industry nationwide.
This video series investigates how schools can improve their cyber security strategy and better protect themselves against increasing internal and external threats.
Success story: How John Paul College future-proofed its network
As schools increasingly adopt BYOD and IoT initiatives, their network demands are expanding to hundreds, even thousands of connected devices. Without a secure and easy to manage onboarding solution, IT can quickly become overwhelmed.
John Paul College is a leading K-12 independent school in Queensland. They partnered with Data#3 to implement a next-generation wireless network built on Aruba technology. This new network provides high-density coverage, a secure environment that’s easy to proactively manage and support, and it allows the IT team to seamlessly onboard student devices, guest access, and BYOD.
Success story: How The Southport School ensures seamless connectivity
Located on the Gold Coast, The Southport School is an independent Anglican day and boarding school for boys. They were operating with a wireless network that was struggling to cope with the demands of a growing student population and increasing use of BYOD devices.
The school partnered with Data#3 to design, configure and deploy a next-generation wireless network solution using Aruba ClearPass and Palo Alto Networks security platform. Four years on we revisited The Southport School to understand if their investment in wireless networking and security paid off.
Blog: A lesson in network planning
IT departments in the education sector have long faced a familiar set of challenges when planning, deploying and maintaining campus networks: tight budgets, a lack of skilled resources, lengthy approval processes, and rapidly evolving technology requirements. But as schools and universities move swiftly to adopt digital-first education models, a new generation of challenges has emerged.
These growing pressures are forcing network administrators to rethink the network – and it’s not just planning for the ‘right now’ that is so critical; IT must also peer into the future.
