AEP Demonstrates SmartGate for Remote, Mobile & Flexible Working for Education

Joins BlueLoop at BETT 2008 Education Conference

LONDON, UK – January 9, 2008– AEP Networks joins Blueloop at BETT 2008 to demonstrate a range of Remote, Mobile & Flexible Working solutions suitable for the education market. Flexible working is one of the most important contributions that IT innovators can make to modern education, empowering staff and students to achieve success.

The companies will be hosting Stand T50 in the National Hall Gallery.

Blueloop & AEP Networks will be demonstrating AEP SmartGate. AEP SmartGate is a fast deploying, low management, remote access solution that enables administrators, faculty and students across the campus - or the world – to gain fast, secure access to education resources including course management systems, library research facilities, enrolment services, e-learning applications and e-grade books.

Originally designed for distributed, security-focused government networks, AEP SmartGate integrates seamlessly into existing network infrastructures without interfering with firewalls and VPNs. It combines end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption, built-in government-grade two-factor user authentication, fine grained access controls and powerful administrative capabilities into an affordable, centrally managed product suite.

“Affordable, flexible and secure access plays a pivotal role for education organisations,” said Oliver Tonge, Product Manager from AEP Networks. “By making coursework and other educational resources securely accessible by any authorised user, AEP SmartGate can help enrich the entire cross-section of an educational organisation's user base - from administrators who can access centralised student data to faculty and students who access personal folders, coursework and applications from the dorm or home.”

Blueloop invites customers to Stand T50 for an opportunity to see live demonstrations of products.
