Meraki is has given the trust a future-proofed foundation for delivering robust, connected WiFi experiences for students and staff at its graphically spread-out schools, whilst enabling the IT team to manage the networks with limited resources. 

 

A Unified Wireless Network for Multiple Schools

Anthem Trust was facing the ongoing challenge of ensuring robust, connected experiences for its schools who all had a different legacy wireless networks. Staff regularly taught at different sites and the slow WiFi and difficulty connecting to the network was impacting lesson time.

The IT team was also managing several networks so recognising the importance of a standardised approach to IT,  Anthem reached out to Redway Networks to provide a centrally managed wireless network that would support its digital vision.
