Supporting Scalable, High-Performance Networks for MATs
Redway Networks is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of MATPN Digital 2026, taking place at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Tower of London, on 21st May 2026.
As Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) continue to expand and adopt cloud-based platforms, the demand for reliable, high-capacity, and centrally managed network infrastructure has never been greater. At this year’s event, we’ll be showcasing how MATs can design networks that deliver consistent performance across every school.
The Challenge: Scaling Network Infrastructure Across MATs
Managing IT across multiple schools introduces a unique set of technical challenges. Many MATs are still dealing with:
- Inconsistent WiFi performance between sites
- Legacy switching and cabling limiting throughput
- Lack of centralised visibility across the network estate
- Increasing device density from 1:1 programmes and BYOD
- Growing reliance on cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Without a properly designed network, these challenges lead to poor user experience, increased support overhead, and disruption to teaching and learning.
Our Approach: Design-Led Network Architecture
At Redway Networks, we take a design-first approach to ensure networks are built around real-world usage, not assumptions.
Our methodology includes:
- Advanced wireless site surveys (predictive modelling and on-site validation)
- Capacity planning based on actual user density and device demand
- WiFi 6/6E deployment strategies for high-density environments
- Cloud-managed networking for centralised control across multiple sites
- Scalable switching and structured cabling infrastructure
This ensures MATs benefit from predictable performance, improved reliability, and simplified long-term management.
Why Network Performance Is Mission-Critical
As teaching and learning become increasingly dependent on digital platforms, the network is no longer just infrastructure—it is mission-critical to educational delivery.
A poorly performing network directly impacts:
- Classroom engagement and learning continuity
- Staff productivity and administrative efficiency
- Safeguarding, filtering, and security compliance
By investing in a robust, scalable network foundation, MATs can confidently support current demands while preparing for future technologies such as AI-driven tools, real-time collaboration platforms, and immersive learning environments.
