Laketec responded to our RFQ, and supplied a very detailed map and plan to complement our infrastructure of Cisco access points along with what Laketec was representing, Aruba Access points. We were assured by the Laketec staff that the Aruba Airwave software would make all of this work and that we would have coverage throughout the School District. There were quite a few challenges and we worked very hard with the Laketec engineers to make sure all staff, faculty, and appropriate students got the access they needed. In the end all is working well and we are very close with the Laketec staff of engineers. The entire team of Laketec is responsive and easy to do business with. We are happy that we selected them as our partner.

Laketec Testimonial
Joe Little
General Manager
Aruba was our first partnership outside of the voice arena as we evolved into a full service IT company back in 2007. Looking back, it was one of the most strategic partnerships we could have made and the relationship between our organizations has only grown and and become more important to us. When the HPE merger happened, we were able to gain access to an even more robust portfolio than before and we are proud to say that networking is our fastest growing business unit.
