NURE became a member of the “Wi-Fi in shelters” initiative

According to the Wi-Fi in Shelters initiative launched by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, Ukrainian kindergartens, schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities receive routers and the necessary equipment to connect to high-speed Internet in shelters free of charge. Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, as the flagship of IT education, took part in the Wi-Fi in Shelters initiative and received equipment to provide network coverage for the University’s shelter. Huawei Ukraine provided the latest network equipment: access points, switches, power adapters.

The project was made possible thanks to Huawei Ukraine with the support of the Charitable Organization “Foundation for Educational Initiatives”. The Wi-Fi 6 network to be built will provide uninterrupted Internet access in the dormitories and the university. The students will be able to gain knowledge and keep in touch with their families during air raids, and the teachers will be able to conduct the educational process without interruption while they are in the shelters.

According to Maria Martuzayeva, representative of Huawei Ukraine, the arrangement of shelters for higher education institutions is an important step towards normalizing the educational process in the current situation.

Igor Ruban, Acting Rector of NURE, thanked Huawei Ukraine and the Charitable Organization “Foundation of Educational Initiatives” for the technical opportunity to modernize the dormitories and the university and expressed his desire to deepen cooperation with Huawei Ukraine in terms of non-formal education in the training of telecommunications specialists based on Huawei Ukraine’s facilities.

Assistant Rector for IT Vitalii Tkachov, as the coordinator of our University’s cooperation with Huawei Ukraine, invited representatives of Huawei Ukraine and the Charitable Organization “Foundation for Educational Initiatives” to visit our University again after the commissioning of the received network equipment.
