Hardin called Aerohive's technology feature-rich, with such capabilities as the Bonjour Gateway. "So far, we've only been able to run Airplay or AirPrint on a single VLAN. But once Gateway's rolled out, we can control multiple VLANs," he said. With the gateway, users won't even have to know the IP address of a printer, he said.

Aerohive has posted a YouTube video describing the gateway, which was announced in March.

The gateway is just one feature that will enhance the district's Wi-Fi, which is "making a difference in education," Hardin said. He cited one ninth-grade boy with reading problems who was able to borrow an iPod from the school to play a vocabulary building app called Word Warp over Wi-Fi.

"His use of words and reading is improving partly with that app, and that has helped him improve how he feels about himself," Hardin said. "It's stories like that they help us know we're making an impact."
