Students Bring Tablets to Class — WiFi Congested & Hidden Gaming?AINOPOL K-12 All-Optical Solution Standardizes E-Schoolbag Management

AINOPOL – Provider of All-Optical Convergence Solutions for K-12 Education

More and more schools adopt e-schoolbags, where students use personal or school-issued tablets for in-class interaction, homework, and online learning.With 40 students online at the same time, can the WiFi handle it? How to stop gaming? How to manage tablets uniformly?

High-Density WiFi Access Capacity

A standard classroom is 60–80㎡ with 40 students using tablets simultaneously.AINOPOL’s WiFi 6 ceiling AP supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO, supporting over 200 concurrent terminals per AP.

When 40 tablets play 1080P video at the same time, total bandwidth is about 200Mbps, with no pressure on the AP or ONU.With multicast enabled, live class content only consumes one stream of bandwidth.

Application Control to Block Entertainment

AINOPOL’s core gateway has a built-in application recognition library covering more than 3,000 mainstream apps.Administrators can set time-based policies:

Automatically block games and videos during class

Allow only teaching-related apps

FAQ

Q: Does the classroom ONU need cooling like a traditional switch?A: No. The ONU has very low power consumption (only 5–10W) and low heat output. It only needs ventilation, no fans required.

Q: Do I need to replace fiber when upgrading the all-optical network?A: No. Fiber itself supports extremely high bandwidth. Future upgrades from 1G to 10G or higher only require replacing equipment at the equipment room and classroom (optical modules and ONUs); the fiber remains unchanged.

Q: Can a new building be added to the existing all-optical network?A: Yes. As long as the OLT has spare ports or new OLTs are added, the new building can be connected with fiber.

Q: Does the all-optical network crash like traditional switches?A: The OLT in the equipment room has an extremely low crash risk, and passive optical splitters never crash. Overall reliability is much higher than traditional active switch networks.
