USRobotics' USR5453 Professional Access Point and Ethernet switches were used in setting up the hybrid wired and wireless network to connect the administration and library departments of the schools. The Al Ain schools where the USR solutions were implemented include Ibn Khaldoon School, Mohammed Bin Khalifa School, Zat Al Slasil School, Sheikha Bait Suror School, Al Ream Kindergarten, and Al Marah Kindergarten.

Murali, Operations Manager, InterNetwork Technology, said, 'We are pleased to further strengthen our association with USRobotics through this project. I would also like to acknowledge the extensive support offered to us by Computer Care, Al Ain and ALMAS, Abu Dhabi in implementing this project. Both resellers played a vital role in the development of the solution. USRobotics' superior range of networking solutions and InterNetwork's unique expertise in providing such advanced solutions has created a winning combination, as evidenced by our portfolio of successful projects.'
