Students at Leading Private University Vote Wi-Fi as the “Most
Important Service on Campus”; New Network Virtually Eliminates
Connectivity Complaints

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced
that Chapman University, California’s third largest private university,
has standardized on Aruba wireless, and deployed Aruba switching,
security and management solutions, to modernize and mobilize its 11
schools and colleges across its main City of Orange campus and Irvine
location.

Home to over 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students, Chapman is
seeing more than 13,000 concurrent devices connecting to its network
daily. According to Phillip Lyle, Assistant Vice President of Enterprise
and Research Infrastructure at Chapman, the demand for secure and
reliable wireless has topped the IT team’s priority list and has become
a key differentiator for attracting and retaining today’s mobile-centric
students.

“Students that we’ve surveyed tell us that wireless is the most
important service on campus,” Lyle said. “Our students rely on it every
day, and it is critical to the educational experience in our classrooms.”

Chapman found that their legacy wireless network could not address the
University’s growing needs. In particular, the outdoor coverage was
spotty and students were lodging complaints about frequent disconnects.
The University was using an open configuration that lacked the kind of
encryption, authentication, and role-based policy necessary to deliver
secure network access, particularly as IoT devices are added.
Furthermore, the network required manual tuning, configuration and
management, all of which cost the IT team valuable time and resources.

Chapman sought an infrastructure that could automate deployment and
management tasks, securely onboard IoT devices, and allow IT to develop
role-based access policies to simplify the connectivity experience for
students, faculty and guests. The University also wanted a full wired
and wireless solution for its latest campus additions – Keck Center for
Science and Engineering, and Chapman Grand, the newest and largest
apartment-style student housing.

Chapman turned to Aruba, deploying both indoor and outdoor access
points
as well as Aruba’s 303H
Series APs
designed to meet the unique requirements of residence
hall and hospitality needs, 7200
Series Mobility Controllers
, a combination of 8320, 3810 and 2930 switches,
Aruba
ClearPass
and AirWave
network management
.

Simplicity and manageability were key factors in Chapman’s decision to
select Aruba. Explained Lyle, “When we replaced our existing equipment
with Aruba’s, the process was so much easier and faster than our initial
deployment. Previously, we had to tune each individual access point, but
with AirWave we were able to automatically determine and provision the
settings for each AP. This saved us a tremendous amount of time and
effort. Even some of the other vendors we evaluated admitted that Aruba
AirWave offered superior management capabilities to their management
platforms.”

This simplicity extended to the deployment of the 303H Series APs in the
Chapman Grand residence hall, which is designed like a 400-unit
apartment complex. Using the APs in concert with Aruba’s zero-touch
provisioning, Chapman was able to quickly bring the new building online,
saving the IT team a substantial amount of time and cost.

ClearPass was also a primary factor in selecting Aruba, as the IT team
needed a way to implement secure role-based access policies across the
wireless and wired network, while making it easy for users to connect.
This capability is particularly critical in Chapman’s new flagship Keck
Center for Science and Engineering which has a robust wireless
deployment, but also utilizes the Aruba 8320 switches for aggregation
and analytics to anticipate the increased bandwidth demands that a
science building could generate.

ClearPass is integral to Chapman’s transition from an open network to an
authenticated system for students, staff and faculty, as well as
managing guest access.

“With ClearPass we can now manage the type of access each individual
receives depending on their role as student, faculty or staff. And we’ve
established a captive portal for guest access that has been
well-received by visitors,” added Michael Ferguson, Network Operations
Manager for Chapman.

ClearPass also allows students, staff and faculty to register their own
personal devices and is crucial to the University’s IoT strategy.
Ferguson noted that the University is seeing a great deal of IoT device
demand with alarms, door locks, smart lighting and HVAC sensors, as well
as students just wanting to connect TVs and printers. Chapman is using
ClearPass to effectively manage all of this, with an eye towards using
it for full wired and wireless access control in the near future.

Moving forward, Chapman will evaluate Aruba Meridian in a Proof of
Concept scheduled for summer 2019. The University will pair Meridian
with an application called CriticalArc to enable location awareness for
reporting security incidents. Beyond public safety, Chapman is also
interested in wayfinding and other location-based services that could be
used to improve its users’ experiences.

“Experience – that of our students, faculty or visitors to campus – is
the most important consideration for our network deployment,” said Lyle.
“In the past, we’d have 150 students in a classroom, and maybe a handful
of them would have problems connecting and accessing a quiz. That’s a
significant problem. Since we moved to our Aruba infrastructure, the
number of complaints have diminished, and surveys reveal that wireless
is not only the most important but also one of the top-rated services
now for our students.”

Indivior Provides Update on Aelis Farma’s Clinical Phase 2B Study Results with AEF0117 in Participants with Cannabis Use Disorder

Published

on

indivior-provides-update-on-aelis-farma’s-clinical-phase-2b-study-results-with-aef0117-in-participants-with-cannabis-use-disorder

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ARTICLE 7 OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 (AS IT FORMS PART OF DOMESTIC LAW IN THE UK BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018).

  • Primary and Secondary End Points of the Study were Not Met
  • Indivior Does Not Currently Expect to Exercise AEF0117 Option 

SLOUGH, United Kingdom and RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Indivior PLC (Nasdaq/LSE: INDV) is today providing an update following Aelis Farma’s announcement of the results from its clinical Phase 2B trial with AEF01171, evaluating the efficacy and safety in treatment-seeking participants with moderate to severe Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). The purpose of this trial was twofold: (1) to show that AEF0117 (0.1, 0.3, 1 mg once a day for 12 weeks) lowers cannabis use and (2) to determine the endpoints and optimal dosage of AEF0117 for use in future studies. In this phase 2B study, patients were treatment-seeking participants, 84% of whom had severe CUD.

The results of the study demonstrated that the primary endpoint, the proportion of participants who reduced their cannabis use to ≤1 day per week, as well as secondary endpoints measuring the proportion of participants reaching either complete abstinence or who used ≤2 day per week, were not met. Although these results are disappointing, they indicate that significant work remains to be done to understand subpopulations of patients with CUD, specifically those with severe CUD.

This clinical Phase 2B study is part of the strategic collaboration between Aelis Farma and Indivior, which includes an exclusive option for Indivior to license the global rights to AEF0117. Given the lack of separation from placebo on primary and secondary endpoints and before seeing further additional favorable clinical data, Indivior does not currently expect to exercise its option.

Forward-looking statements include, among other things, express and implied statements regarding whether: we will be able to ultimately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of AEF0117, which is a prerequisite to filing any New Drug Application; we might ever exercise our option for AEF0117 and, if so, when; and other statements containing the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “priority,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “outlook,” “guidance,” the negatives thereof, and variations thereon and similar expressions.

Except as required by law, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update, republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events.
