Fairfax County Public Schools secures BYOD onboarding with RUCKUS Cloudpath

Fairfax County Public Schools, a large school district near Washington D.C., faced a challenge as the number of personal Wi-Fi devices like smartphones and tablets brought by students and staff surged. Their existing guest network was insecure, and they needed a way to securely integrate these devices using WPA2-Enterprise security without overwhelming their support team. To address this, they turned to RUCKUS Networks for a solution.

RUCKUS Networks implemented its Cloudpath Enrollment System to securely onboard personal devices. This solution enabled the district to successfully embrace a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) model, extending educational technology use securely to student-owned devices. The deployment allowed for learning to continue anytime and anywhere, transforming the educational experience without increasing support costs.
