Products to look forward to at the UC-WIRELESS stand are:

The Breadbin – This is a central offline, locally hosted digital library of educational resource and CAPS aligned content, offering educators and learners access to an array of educational content at a touch of a button. The Breadbin can be deployed on a schools network making this information available to teachers at the school via a professionally set up on-site Wi-Fi network, which does not require internet to access it. Just as a breadbin with fresh bread, your valuable educational information and resources will all be stored in this one well organized digital library, that is continuously and freshly updated with the latest information.

Display Note – This is a powerful teacher, student collaboration solution. It allows the content presented by someone to be displayed live and concurrently across all tablets and participating PC's on a Wi-Fi network in the environment, even if the tablet is not in the same physical class. Students receive screen shots of the presentation as it happens and are each able to make their own personal notes on the content presented. The audio from the presentation is also presented, so anyone not actually in the classroom or present at the presentation can still hear the presenter. The unique cloud version allows for the students and teacher to be apart from one other, which facilitates distance learning with the use of the Internet.

Exinda – This is an edge cache Internet accelerator and bandwidth prioritisation and optimisation solution. In essence this means that the solution stores the Internet content downloaded by the users on the network so that if it is requested again, there is no need to use the Internet again in order to retrieve it. Instead it sends this information from its local storage, thereby saving Internet bandwidth for increased capacity and performance and importantly, lowering cost. Furthermore, Exinda can prioritise the Internet usage based on the policies it contains about what is more important or aligned with the intended use of the Internet for an organisation, and is able to report accurately on the nature and extent of Internet use per person.

EdUCation Station – UC-Wireless offers this as a starter bundle of their fully-fledged enterprise Wi-Fi that can be deployed and expanded at a school over time. This allows for a school to start off using the same reliable Wi-Fi initially and benefit from all the advantages that other sites have without wasting money on cheaper inappropriate Wi-Fi.

UC-Wireless operates in a number of vertical markets and therefore offers solutions to not only the educational sector but also other vertical markets such as Healthcare, Retail, Warehousing, Hospitality, Mining, Casino/Gaming, Production/ Industrial and Enterprise.
With the explosion of wireless adoption, UC-Wireless is well positioned to take Africa to the next level. For more information, visit the UC-Wireless stand E12 at the SABC Education African EduWeek expo on the 10th and 11th of July 2014 or go to http://www.uc-wireless.com.
