Common pain points

What we hear from Education buyers

Campus Wi-Fi has thousands of users, tight budgets

Students saturate even good APs. Sizing must respect both density and capex constraints.

Hostel access control is high-churn

Students lose cards weekly; mobile-credential support saves admin overhead.

Lab CCTV needs to deter, not just record

Visible cameras in labs reduce equipment damage; placement is as important as spec.

Parents and trustees scrutinise security

One incident and procurement gets a board-level review. Pre-engineered solutions hold up under scrutiny.

Energy bills are a board metric

Switching to smart lighting + occupancy sensors typically saves 30–40% on lighting load in classrooms and corridors.

FAQ

Education-specific questions

Can you supply on GeM / institutional tenders?

We are MSME registered and can supply through standard institutional POs. For GeM listings specifically, email accounts@cadabraindia.co — we will guide.

Do you handle phased installs during semester breaks?

Yes — most education installs are phased into summer/winter breaks with cabling pre-laid during exam weeks.

What about laptop-distribution programs?

Not currently in our catalog — we focus on network/security/access infrastructure that supports those devices.
