Enhance Learning through Technology!

Wi-Fi now has an essential role in today’s classrooms, transforming learning with digital tools like tablets, laptops, and smartboards. However, ensuring a smooth Wi-Fi experience requires more than just installing wireless access points – it needs a thorough wireless site survey before and after deployment.

We will start an open and honest dialogue with you about where you see the future for ICT in your school. We will perform a full, free of charge, survey of your school to ascertain your current situation and listen to your requirements. 

Following the visit, a full report and quotation will be provided to your school, for you to peruse. This can be adapted to ensure that you are totally happy with the details and we will move it forward to the next stage. 

 
We can also provide separate network designs based on budget requirements as there is no one "Fits all" solution.  

Why Excellent Wireless matters in Classrooms

• Enhanced Learning Tools: Devices like laptops, tablets and smartboards rely heavily on stable wireless
• Collaborative Learning: Wireless enables real-time collaboration and file-sharing among students
• Access to Resources: Online resources and cloud-based apps enhance the earning experience
• Flexibility: Wireless supports virtual classrooms, online exams, and adaptive learning environments

Importance of Wireless Site Surveys

• Pre-Deployment Survey
  1. Identifies potential issues (dead zones, interference)
  2. Optimizes access point placement for even coverage
  3. Ensures proper capacity planning for devices
  4. Identifies security risks to prevent breaches

• Post-Deployment Survey
  1. Verifies network performance against expectations
  2. Fine-tunes settings and access points based on real data
  3. Resolves any unforeseen issues with cabling, hardware or configuration
  4. Ensures ongoing improvements through regular surveys

Connect the Classroom is an investment funding project run by the Department for Education (DfE). The current programme offers eligible schools, an upgraded wireless networking solution to improve their IT infrastructure.

Please feel free to contact us to assist with any Connect the Classroom or similar infrastructure design projects.   We have been very successful in the last couple of years having all our proposals / designs approved by the DfE for our growing list of customers. We have since implemented all these network infrastructure projects in schools. 

We would love the opportunity to perform the initial evaluation which will include a full survey of existing infrastructure along with a new design and full quotation.  We can assist every step of the way from initial DfE contact to implementation and sign off. 

Please see our  recently updated Connect the Classroom page with regard to some new and exciting news in 2025 from the DfE. 

We can produce reports on existing network and cabling infrastructure. This includes preliminary Internet and LAN speed tests and also potential quotations for upgraded / additional infrastructure such as cabling or PoE switches.  We can also arrange for a suitable VoIP quotation from one of our Partners.  Please see our VoIP Page for more information. 

Upon request, we can visit the school to obtain requirements for any additional structured cabling. We can then arrange for one of our trusted infrastructure cabling suppliers to visit the school.
