Technology (PSUT), the sole private
and non-profit university in Jordan,
has deployed a powerful 802.11ac Wi-Fi
solution based on technology from Aruba.
This has provided high-speed wireless
Internet access for smart learning and
collaboration across its campus.
The new infrastructure, which was
implemented through Aruba’s leading gold
partner NeoGenesis Technical Solutions,
delivers 100% coverage across the
institution’s indoor and outdoor areas with a
three times increase in wireless bandwidth.
These enhancements will enable over
4,000 students, faculty members of the
five schools, 250 contractors, and over 400
parents and visitors to enjoy secure and
seamless Internet connectivity.
PSUT’s main mission is to educate
students and qualify them to pursue
careers in the fields of information
and communications technology (ICT),
electronics, computer engineering,
communication engineering and business.
“Given the nature of our courses, it is no
surprise that our students are extremely
tech-savvy and on average, each carries
three devices. Smartphones, tablets and
laptops are now commonplace at our
institution. The enhancement of our Wi-Fi
facilities empowers these digital natives
