Stroud High School Moves Towards Agile, Digital Education with High-Density
Stroud High School's end-of-life Aruba WiFi 5 network was already causing unreliable connectivity and slow speeds, so the shift to 1:1 device provisioning to students necessitated an upgrade to a WiFi network capable of supporting it. Terry Watts, Assistant Headteacher and Digital Strategy at the school commented, "we needed to future-proof out wireless network with a high-density solution that would give us the confidence to migrate to our 1:1 learning provision."
Cloud-Managed Network Delivers Secure, High-Speed 1:1 Learning
Not only did WiFi 6e bring reliable, fast connectivity to student devices at Stroud High School, it has transformed the management of school devices through cloud-based controls.
It has given the school an 'always-on' understanding of how, when and where applications are being used, easily accessible from the cloud dashboard.
With help from Redway Networks, Stroud High School has been able to roll out Microsoft Surface Pro devices to all students in years 7-13, as well as reducing network costs.
