We’ve got the technology and the know-how to stop slow speeds and unreliable connectivity being an issue so you can provide a better ICT provision.

Joined up WiFi and Networking for Schools

We design unified WiFi for schools that's easy to manage across large campuses and MAT estates.

Building a school’s WiFi and Network solution over time often leads to disjointed systems. Whether by previous choices, design or technology, these legacy systems can result in IT or senior leadership teams battling poor performance rather than making strategic choices to improve operations.

By understanding your environment and what you need, we’ll help you create a more joined up WiFi and Network infrastructure that works for students and teachers, and makes network visibility and management easier for your IT team.

Teacher helping students

Built in redundancy for better performance

Avoid the need for moving classes around if you have a problem with your school’s WiFi with a robust Network design that delivers reliable connectivity even if things go wrong.

We’ll design your WiFi and network infrastructure with a reliable backup in place, so if something does happen with your main system, you don’t lose connectivity while it’s being resolved.

School WiFi and Networking built to scale

School buildings are constantly scaling with new blocks to meet demand for places and more sites added to Trusts. Managing a mixed estate in your school as you grow leads to disconnected management, with IT teams juggling multiple technologies across multiple dashboards that’s difficult to scale.

By partnering with leading providers, we can build a network for your school without a ceiling, that’s capable of easily scaling with you as you add more demand and devices.

As student numbers grow, device intensity increases - our education WiFi designs support future learning technologies and cloud platforms.

Enable your school to run more efficiently

  • WiFi 6 for enterprise performance in high density environments like classrooms and common areas
  • Cloud-based management from a single dashboard for complete visibility, analytics and zero-touch provisioning
  • Networks that support AR, VR and mixed reality learning environments
  • Next-gen security to secure expanding networks from rising cyber-threats
  • Build capacity for IoT and connected devices
  • AI capability to reduce IT workloads

Enjoy the Quiet of School WiFi and Networking that Works

With a professionally designed, delivered and managed WiFi and networking solution for your school, your IT team won’t have to contend with staff complaints that their devices won't face connection issues and their lessons won't be disrupted by poor network performance.

Instead, their classroom WiFi will give them the time to focus on their job and make more strategic decisions.
