SPH modernises wireless networks amidst digital transformation efforts

The networks aim to support 4,000 employees daily.

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) will modernise its wireless networks to support 4,000 employees daily as part of its active digital transformational efforts.

The network modernisation will happen by means of a comprehensive and flexible Wi-Fi coverage for its over 150,000-square metre campus through wireless local area network solutions by Aruba.

It will also create operational efficiencies and bolster security across thousands of users and devices from a single management pane, providing full visibility into the network.

“The pandemic accelerated the agenda to strengthen our technological foundations, so we can improve work quality and streamline processes with an enhanced network infrastructure. Mobility and agility will be key driving forces in the evolving ‘anywhere’ office,” SPH chief technology officer Glen Francis said.

Aruba was selected to help SPH create a better-connected workplace that provides connectivity, speed and security at scale for its employees amidst the need for robust network management.

“In the digital-first reality, new business outcomes and dynamic customer experiences are only possible if there is a secure, automated and intelligent network infrastructure supporting it,” Aruba senior director Justin Chiah said.
