READING, England — June 5, 2023 — Black Box®, a global IT solutions provider, is joining with Nextivity to showcase leading-edge technology solutions and managed IT services for the digital campus during Networkshop 2023, June 14-15 at the NTU Events and Conferencing Centre in Nottinghamshire. Experts from the two companies will focus on how the implementation of the Nextivity CEL-FI suite of smart cellular coverage solutions can address key requirements for students, educators, researchers and administrators across the modern educational environment.
"Our goal is to deliver human-centric technology solutions that meet current needs while supporting adaptation and future growth, as these types of agile solutions play an increasingly important role in today's learning facilities and across campuses," said Matt Thomas, vice president and general manager EMEA at Black Box. "Nextivity's award-winning, end-to-end CEL-FI cellular coverage solution is a vital enabler of connected solutions in the educational setting, not only enhancing the learning experience but also elevating security campus-wide. We look forward to showcasing our joint offering at this year's Networkshop event."
Leveraging leading-edge communications, collaboration, networking and security technologies, Black Box designs, deploys and manages IT for fast, reliable rollout of end-to-end solutions ranging from classroom technology to complete network infrastructures for large university campuses. These solutions support educational institutions by addressing the increasing need for IT security, access and activity monitoring, social media learning, multimedia as a teaching tool, gamification as a lesson component, and distance learning.
At Networkshop, Black Box will feature wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi 6, Active DAS Hybrid), structured cabling, network optimization, unified communications and campus AV solutions. Black Box wraps these solutions in end-to-end services that allow educators, researchers and administrators to focus on education while IT is fully supported.
"Providing uniform, high-quality cellular signals throughout any building and scalability as needed, Nextivity's CEL-FI solutions solve critical voice and data coverage issues in the education sector," said Colin Abrey, vice president of strategic accounts at Nextivity. "In addition to ensuring the robust cellular performance essential to reliable, secure and worry-free education delivery, our solutions offer unmatched ease of installation — an ideal fit for implementation across a campus.
