Ilan Rubin, Managing Director, Wavelink, said: “Mobile computing initiatives are changing the way children learn in K-12 environments. Laptop carts, video learning and one-to-one computing programs have combined with small IT teams and shrinking budgets to drive the need for a high-density, simple-to-manage and intelligent wireless network.
