On Friday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s shares inclined 3.10% to $119.08.
Apple® declared two new programs aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of its manufacturing partners in China. The programs will avoid over 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas pollution in the country between now and 2020, equivalent to taking nearly 4 million passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
Apple also declared that construction on 40 megawatts of solar projects in the Sichuan Province is now complete. These solar installations produce more than the total amount of electricity used by Apple’s offices and retail stores in China, making Apple’s operations carbon neutral in China.
First, Apple is significantly expanding its clean-energy investments in China. Apple plans to build more than 200 megawatts of solar projects in the northern, eastern and southern grid regions of China, which will produce the equivalent of the energy used by more by than 265,000 Chinese homes in a year and will start to offset the energy used in Apple’s supply chain.
Apple Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, watches, and portable digital music players worldwide. The company also sells related software, services, accessories, networking solutions, and third-party digital content and applications.

At the end of Friday’s trade, Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ)‘s shares surged 1.44% to $12.00.
Aruba Networks, an HP company (HPQ), declared that the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) is deploying an Aruba Networks 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2 wireless LAN to provide pervasive, secure connectivity for its 31,000 students and staff. UNC Charlotte, which has seen a dramatic enhance in the number of wireless devices in addition to heightened demand for new educational technologies in the classroom, selected Aruba to replace its previous Meru network after evaluating both Aruba and Cisco solutions.
Carlin noted that UNC Charlotte’s preceding infrastructure could not keep up with the growing demand for reliable, campus-wide wireless access, nor the security expectations of their IT department. The University began a Proof of Concept evaluation, deploying 802.11ac solutions from Aruba and Cisco in two of the densest locations on campus. UNC Charlotte selected Aruba for its superior ability to support higher data speeds and handle greater device densities.
A key factor in UNC Charlotte’s decision was Aruba’s 320 series APs, the industry’s first 802.11ac Wave 2 APs with dynamic multi-user multiple input/multiple output (MU-MIMO) grouping. Formerly, an AP stream could only transmit to one device at a time and other clients had to wait their turn. With Aruba’s MU-MIMO aware ClientMatch® technology, the 320 series APs can group Wave 2-capable devices on the same stream, significantly boosting network capacity. The University is primarily deploying these Wave 2 APs, which will allow them to best address the growing number of high-density areas on campus. The 320 series is also the only Wave 2 AP in its class to integrate a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon, which enables organizations to provide indoor location and wayfinding, deliver proximity-aware push notifications and offer other location-based mobile engagement services.
Hewlett-Packard Company, together with its auxiliaries, provides products, technologies, software, solutions, and services to individual consumers and small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), in addition to the government, health, and education sectors worldwide.
