Black Box Solutions at Hamburg OpenLeveraging leading-edge technology to bring students, faculty, and administration together on tomorrow's digital campus Black Box Preview Black Box will be exhibiting along with Nextivity, and their award-winning Cel-Fi solutions, at Networkshop50 with a focus on leading-edge technology solutions and IT services for the digital campus. Black Box delivers human-centric technology solutions that not only integrate seamlessly into today's dynamic education environment but also support adaptation and future growth. Nextivity is a leader in end-to-end cellular coverage that enhances the learning experience and elevates campus safety. Experts from the two companies will be on hand at Networkshop50 to consult with show attendees about addressing specific challenges and meeting requirements for students, educators, researchers, and administrators across the modern campus. Joint Presentation: The Importance of Cellular Coverage in Education Black Box and Nextivity are partnering to present a 15-minute session on the importance of cellular coverage in education. Improving cellular coverage is a growing need for schools and universities. It's a requirement driven by the growing number of students using smartphones in classrooms as a learning tool and even more by campus safety and the need to connect to 999. Cellular connectivity is no longer a luxury, and Wi-Fi is simply not a good enough solution for this problem. In this session, Paul Williams and Colin Abrey will discuss the key role smart cellular coverage plays within educational environments and how Nextivity with its award-winning Cel-Fi solutions and Black Box can help educators deploy solutions in a fast and reliable way. Black Box Highlights at Networkshop50Leveraging leading-edge collaboration, communication, networking, and security technologies, Black Box bridges the IT gap — designing, deploying, and managing IT for a fast and reliable rollout. At Networkshop50, Black Box will feature wireless, structured cabling, network optimization, unified communications, campus AV, and IoT and smart technology solutions, as well as reliable cellular coverage with Cel-Fi by Nextivity. All these solutions are offered by Black Box wrapped in end-to-end services that allow educators, researchers, and administrators to focus on education while IT is fully supported. Black Box manages strategic partnerships with leading technology vendors, deploys technology that makes a difference, and integrates end-to-end solutions ranging from classroom technology to complete network infrastructures for large university campuses. "As existing network infrastructures continue to age in schools, learning facilities, and on campuses, it becomes harder to accommodate increased demand in the connected classroom," says, Matt Thomas, VP & General Manager EMEA at Black Box. "The list of activities taxing today's education network is long: the greater need for IT security, access, and activity monitoring, learning via social media, the use of multimedia as a default, streaming video employed both as an instructional method and as a tool for faculty collaboration, flipped learning, and gamification as a lesson component. The list goes on and on. Throw the escalating use of distance learning into the mix, and it's easy to see that most networks are being pushed to the edges of capability. Though these are common problems, they need not be barriers to reliable, secure, and worry-free education delivery, thanks to Black Box and our comprehensive technology solutions and IT services offerings for education."
