For schools and municipalities

Wi-Fi in the school, only when it is needed

PoE-Sea switches the Wi-Fi access points on and off, classroom by classroom. The teacher decides with a wireless switch without battery, and the school or the municipality manages everything from the browser.

Less screen time, lower power consumption and a network that is closed when the school is closed.

Why manage the Wi-Fi of the school?

In most schools the Wi-Fi is on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even though the pupils use it a few hours a day.

01.

Less screen time

The teacher switches the Wi-Fi on when the class needs the internet, and it goes off by itself after the lesson.

Screen-free periods, breaks and evenings are guaranteed by a weekly schedule, and the statistics show how long each classroom was online.

02.

Lower power consumption

An access point uses power day and night. A school is used about 1 300 of the 8 760 hours of the year.

PoE-Sea cuts the power of the access points the rest of the time: up to 85% less electricity for the wireless network, and less heat in the technical rooms.

03.

Better security

A Wi-Fi network that is off cannot be attacked. Outside school hours, at night and on weekends, the school network is not reachable from the car park.

The switches can be locked, and every switching on is logged: you see when and where the Wi-Fi was used.

This is how PoE-Sea works

PoE-Sea works with the access points you already have, whatever the brand.

PoE-Sea+, PoE-Sea Link, USB key and EnOcean switch
01.

PoE-Sea+

Installed between the PoE switch and the Wi-Fi access point. When it cuts the PoE power, the access point is off: no Wi-Fi, no radio waves and no power consumption.

02.

Switch without battery

An EnOcean radio switch on the wall or on the desk of the teacher. It takes its energy from the press of the finger: no battery to change, no cable to pull.

03.

PoE-Sea Link

The gateway connects the PoE-Sea+ of the building to the PoE-Sea cloud service, for the remote control, the schedules, the statistics and the software updates.

04.

Schedule and locks

Each PoE-Sea+ follows its weekly schedule, also without internet: Wi-Fi off at the end of the day, switches locked during breaks, at night and on weekends.

PoE-Sea+ and the Wi-Fi switch in a classroom

A simple gesture for the teacher

  • Press on: the access point of the classroom gets power, and the Wi-Fi is back as soon as it has started.
  • Press off, or let the delay run out: the access point is switched off.
  • Up to 8 switches per PoE-Sea+, for example one by the door and one on the desk of the teacher.
  • A time quota can limit how long the Wi-Fi can be on.
  • No new network, no new password: the pupils' devices connect as before.

One overview for all the schools of the municipality

The PoE-Sea cloud service shows every building, every PoE-Sea+ and every switch. Change a schedule, switch a classroom on or off, or follow the use of the Wi-Fi, from any browser.

Dashboard of the PoE-Sea cloud service
  • Group the PoE-Sea+ by building, and filter all the views per school.
  • Switch the Wi-Fi on or off remotely.
  • Weekly schedules with up to 8 actions: on, off, lock or unlock the switches.
  • Statistics and event log: activations, hours with Wi-Fi, the most used switches.
  • User roles: read only, change the settings of the classrooms, or administer the buildings.
  • Software updates of the PoE-Sea+ from the cloud service.
  • In Norwegian, English, French and Dutch.
