Aruba ClearPass NAC deployment for k-12 education environments — 802.1X authentication, device profiling, and role-based access policies configured and tested.

Post-Install RF Validation

Post-installation Ekahau validation survey confirming RF performance matches the predictive design — coverage heat maps delivered at handoff.

Why Cisco Meraki & Aruba Excel in K-12 Wireless Environments

K-12 wireless has unique demands — high device density, E-Rate funding requirements, CIPA-compliant filtering, and IT teams stretched across multiple campuses. Both Cisco Meraki and Aruba address these directly.

E-Rate Eligible

Cisco Meraki and Aruba products qualify for E-Rate Category 2 funding — WCC assists Southern California K-12 districts with product specification and E-Rate documentation.

High-Density Classroom Coverage

Ekahau-designed AP placement for every classroom, gymnasium, and common area — channel planning and capacity modeling before installation.

CIPA-Compliant Filtering

Meraki Dashboard content filtering and Aruba ClearPass policy management provide CIPA-compliant student network segmentation.

Simplified Multi-Site Management

Both Meraki Dashboard and Aruba Central manage all campus APs from a single cloud console — critical for district IT teams across multiple schools.

Student, Staff & IoT Segmentation

Separate VLANs for student devices, staff laptops, admin networks, and IoT — properly isolated so a student device never reaches the admin network.

Outdoor Campus Coverage

Outdoor-rated APs for quads, athletic fields, and portable classrooms — extending cloud-managed wireless to every campus area.
