Fast, state-of-the-art Wi-Fi network, high availability, and easy and secure access were essential for the success of the project implemented with Conversys' expertise and Aruba's solutions. Â
The Learning Village is the first innovation and technology hub focused on education and people development in Latin America, connecting companies, startups, and partners in an ecosystem that promotes the transformation of the country.Â
The hub has as founders SingularityU Brazil, local partner of Singularity University, a cutting-edge educational institution born in Silicon Valley, and HSM, a corporate education platform. All are part of the portfolio of Ânima Educação, the largest and most innovative ecosystem of quality education in the country. Â
The challenge involved modernizing and evolving the Learning Village into a space with the capacity to connect hundreds of people every day with quality and safety.Â
Conversys, together with Learning Village, developed a connectivity project based on Aruba's Wi-Fi 6 solution, contemplating not only mobility and high availability, but also complete management and monitoring of the environment.Â
The implementation of the wireless network modernized the technological infrastructure, providing its clients and employees with more speed, efficiency, security, and reliability.Â
Check out how the project was developed.
By connecting players to generate new opportunities and support companies in their innovation journey, the hub, which belongs to the Ânima Educação group - one of the main private educational organizations of higher education in the country, with over 332 thousand students, distributed in 18 educational institutions and 570 educational centers throughout Brazil - provides a modern structure and high availability for companies, startups, and their sponsors to carry out their innovation projects, content production, events, and training.Â
And that's where the Aruba Wi-fi 6 solution via Conversys comes in.
"Since the first contact, HSM demonstrated total interest in acquiring a robust network of high performance that could represent the quality standard that they were looking for the Learning Village. In a few meetings and presentations, the team understood that the technical detailing, care with details and the level of study that we applied in the Village premises, still under construction, would make all the difference to reach an ideal model of technology and access with security for all students and users of the environment", comments Leandro Cibulka, Sales Engineer from Conversys IT Solutions. Â
The quality of Aruba solutions and the technical knowledge and experience of the Conversys team, together with the Learning Village, have built a new standard of user experience.Â
State-of-the-art technology and redundancy in the infrastructure were the major points of attention in the design of the project. All wireless access is delivered by Aruba's 500 line of Access Points (APs), through which the user can enjoy Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax standard) on all floors of the Learning Village.Â
Supporting the entire connection of the APs are pairs of PoE+ Switches that connect the antennas in a distributed design so as to minimize the impact of minor network instabilities for users.Â
From end to end, the topology follows in redundancy and high availability passing also through the core with throughput combined to avoid any kind of bottlenecks until delivering the Internet access to the firewalls, which also follow the same idea of robustness. Â
"User experience is what gets the most attention and was our biggest recommendation for the project. Fast Wi-Fi, easy access, and using social login were the icing on the cake for us to achieve state of the art delivery of this project," says Cibulka.  Â
"The main goal of Learning Village's infrastructure area is to provide quality internet for our customers. Since we deployed the Aruba solution we have quality connections and no outages, which makes the work of all residents in our ecosystem much easier!" - Thiago Silva, Technology at Learning Village.
Guilherme Portela, Territory Manager at Aruba, explains that the 500 series APs also include features such as OFDMA and Target Wake Time. "Which enables better multiuser performance, greater efficiency and energy savings, enriching the user experience of the companies, startups and sponsors that participate in the Learning Village activities. We are happy to collaborate with this initiative of Ânima Education focused on innovation," he concludes. Â
