LMA College

LMA's expansion to 2 campuses (Liverpool and London) incited investment, upgrading 80% of its technical equipment and integration with its Google virtual learning platform. This made high-performance networking essential to underpin the new cutting-edge technology and deliver world-class digital facilities to students and staff.

Oliver Morris, Technical Manager at LMA commented, "we have over 1,000 students in Liverpool alone, all accessing our Google platform and sharing classroom content, videos and YouTube clips simultaneously, so there's a lot of traffic. When we upgraded most of our technical equipment, it really highlighted the fact that our existing network could not cope."

Keeping Students Safe Online Has City Centre Challenges

LMA's Liverpool campus is located in the centre of the city's shopping district, so network security has always been an issue, and the rise in digital education and EdTech has made keeping students and staff safe even more vital.

A cloud-managed solution allowed LMA College to have total visibility and control of connected devices from anywhere via the cloud app. This has made security far less frantic.

Project Highlights from Survey to Streamlining

1

Upgrading 80% of the College's technology exposed the need for a future-ready network that could simplify management of 2 sites

2

All LMA's applications and educational resources are accessed via the cloud, so strong WiFi is essential for students and staff.

3

The Liverpool campus' city centre location added complexity, with high interference, overlapping signals, and a higher security risk, so precise surveying was vital.

4

The College had a 2 week trial of Meraki products due to Redway Networks' Cisco Meraki Reseller status, allowing the IT team to experience the power of cloud management.

5

Pushing all management functions to the cloud has given the IT team both instant visibility and increased control - all from a single pane of glass.

6

The new network solution has scalability for the next 10 years, removing concerns about onboarding EdTech impacting performance and security.
