Smart classes will provide access to Integrated Smart School Solution and would entail installation of projectors, speakers, power backup/UPS as well as other important components which are required for the operation of Smart school Systems, including network switches, routers, firewall, network and supporting equipments etc besides Interactive white board, computer systems etc.
