Enhance learning and campus services with Aruba MOVE

Mobility is transforming higher education. Mobile devices such as tablets, e-readers, and smartphones are providing a rich multimedia experience, improving collaboration, and driving excellence in both academics and research. But educational institutions need a new network architecture that can meet the requirements of today’s campus—across classrooms, residence halls, public venues, and remote sites.

That’s why six of the eight Ivy League universities and the largest state higher education system in the United States are among the many that chose Aruba’s Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE™) architecture to enable mobility on their campus. MOVE uniquely consolidates network and security services required for Wi-Fi, wired, remote, and outdoor access to rightsize campus networks for mobility. With MOVE, education institutions can easily scale their networks to accommodate the deluge of mobile devices and multimedia-heavy applications, while reducing the cost of operating such networks.
