“By focusing on both advanced technology and contextualized content, we aim to transform digital classrooms into interactive, future-ready learning spaces that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes”, says Ponnanna Uthappa, CEO, Quadgen Quadgen Wireless Solutions.

Innovative Approach to Smart Classrooms & Adaptive Learning Solutions

Quadgen Wireless Solutions has introduced several innovative approaches to enhance traditional learning environments within the Connected Digital Education sector. Unlike typical digital classrooms, Quadgen emphasizes creating ‘smart classrooms’
where technology not only supports but actively engages with the learning process. They have partnered with global content providers to ensure their solutions are tailored to local educational standards, such as NCERT in India. This approach prioritizes interactivity, enabling adaptive learning experiences that respond to student performance in real time.

Quadgen offers a range of digital classroom equipment, including interactive digital whiteboards and K-12 laptops designed for different educational levels. These tools feature advanced audio-visual capabilities, robust hardware, and customizable options like integrated cameras, depending on the classroom’s needs.
