London, U.K., Jan. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, at Bett Show 2019, the premier education conference, Lightspeed Systems announced the first and only comprehensive software platform for school device management. Lightspeed Systems Relay, the market-leading cloud filtering solution for K-12, is now offered as an all-in-one solution for the filtering, management, monitoring and protection of school devices, with support for every OS, BYOD and IoT.
In 2019, school IT departments have more responsibilities than ever. So many tools are required to ensure a 1:1 device initiative is successfully deployed, maintained, and utilized. In the past, IT departments have been forced to purchase multiple solutions for device filtering, classroom management, mobile device management (MDM), and student safety. Not all solutions on the market support every operating system, making management even more complicated and expensive for networks supporting multiple device types.
Lightspeed Systems Relay eliminates the hassle of managing disparate systems and solutions to keep school devices safe, well managed and mobile. With Relay, school IT departments can perform all necessary functions of 1:1 management with one, scalable, cloud-based solution — with optional hardware for larger networks and BYOD.
Relay’s features include:
- Support for all devices — every OS, BYOD and IoT
- AI student safety alerts — know instantly when students are at risk of suicide, bullying and other violence
- Easy SSL decryption — patent-pending Smart Agents provide SSL decryption to all devices, apps and browsers without the need for proxy servers, PAC files or certificates
- Precise device geolocation — find lost and stolen devices, keeping ROI high
- Next-gen classroom management — featuring AI-based insights that notify teachers when students are off-task
- Delegated management — easily share granular filtering and MDM tasks with the rest of your staff
