Chorus Education Trust Schools Benefit from Upgraded WiFi

The Chorus Education Trust has future-proofed the networks at two of its largest secondary schools with upgraded WiFi6  and next-generation switching from Redway Networks.  

Over 2,000 students and staff are now benefitting from a robust, secure Meraki wireless network that's delivering high-speed connectivity to online resources. 

With Meraki's scalable networks in place the schools are equipped to support digital transformation and the trust can centralise service delivery.

WiFi Support for Growing Tech Needs

With Chorus Education Trust expanding its technology needs to support digital transformation, the outdated, legacy  WiFi at two of its schools  needed replacing with superior campus-wide networks.  

Both schools were eligible for a Department of Education Connect the Classroom grant to update the networks with high-density WiFi6 and next-generation switching.

Following recommendation, Chorus Trust chose Redway Networks to design and install robust wireless LANs using Meraki's portfolio of enterprise products.

High-Performance WLANS for two schools

Redway Networks conducted a detailed appraisal of both Eckington and Hope Valley schools' IT infrastructure through professional onsite Ekahau WiFi surveys.

Two separate wireless LANs were then designed and configured with high-performing Meraki WiFi6 access points and Meraki next-generation switches.

With the new Meraki networks in place, both schools are now benefitting from reliable, secure WiFi with vastly improved coverage for supporting digital teaching and learning.
