Network Uptime During Term
Ageing Networks Can’t Keep Up With Digital Classrooms
As BYOD devices, cloud classrooms, and digital assessments multiply, many schools are running on Wi-Fi and infrastructure that was never designed for today’s device density - or today’s cyber threats.
- Network congestion during peak class & exam periods
- BYOD device sprawl with little central control
- Student data privacy obligations growing
- Tight IT budgets vs. rising cyber threats

- Campus-wide network design & monitoring
- Centralised device fleet management (MDM)
