Case Study: Sabari Indian School becomes UAE’s most technologically advanced Indian school with HPE Aruba Networking

Aruba Helps Sabari Indian School Become Most Technologically Advanced Indian School in the UAE

Sabari Indian School, part of Al Masah Education in the UAE, needed to modernize after its 2015 acquisition to improve its KHDA rating by introducing eLearning and iPad-based instruction. The school’s existing small‑business Wi‑Fi was unreliable and low‑capacity (APs failed with ~15 devices), so leadership sought a scalable, high‑density, cost‑effective enterprise solution that would support campus-wide coverage and mobile device use.

Al Masah selected Aruba Instant 802.11ac access points (IAP‑220 indoor, IAP‑215 outdoor) with ClientMatch and deployed 63 APs in five months using a controller-less setup. The new network provided seamless roaming, clear traffic segmentation, easy MDM/firewall integration and centralized management; each AP now supports 40+ connections, enabling an iPad rollout, cloud curriculum, improved learning experiences, faster KHDA rating improvements and an expected ROI in under two years.
