- Zero-touch provisioning simplifies deployment even before your hardware arrives
- High capacity WiFi that provides exceptional ICT provision for 1:1 learning programmes and access to online resources
- Remote live-troubleshooting tools efficiently help with any downtime, saving your school time and money.
The impact of legacy networks on secondary school education
Digital transformation in secondary schools presents both an opportunity and a challenge. Using digital technology to enhance the student experience is an increasing focus for teachers, and allows them to boost focus, collaboration and communication, however it relies on more than just deploying devices; it relies on an IT network that can cope with scaling technology. Classrooms have changed enormously in the last 10 years, but many secondary schools are still using networks just as old. These networks are incapable of sufficiently supporting the needs of today’s schools from security to capacity.
Future-ready networks for future-focused classrooms
With education changing in line with technology advancements, secondary schools in particularly need networks that have anticipatory capacity and performance for tomorrow’s EdTech. These future-focused networks don’t just need to offer the highest levels of bandwidth and security, they also need to streamline monitoring and management to avoid IT teams growing at the same rate as the network itself. Cloud-based WiFi networks mean school IT teams can benefit from features that save time and resources, including automated network management, zero touch provisioning, and total network visibility in a single pane of glass.
