High speed inter school connectivity is the foundation stone in transforming the way education is delivered in Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Nursery Schools, Primary and Secondary Schools and other educational establishments within Local Authority control require greater bandwidth capacity in order to deliver the modern curriculum and ensure a first class education for our children.

Glow Scotland and similar institutions in England and Wales acknowledge the prerequisite of high speed access at schools to improve delivery of services and allow joined up working the length and breadth of the country.

The investment required to increase bandwidth capacity to a level that will allow schools to interact successfully in the program is huge. Traditional Leased Lines, Fixed Circuits or the relatively modern MPLS technology, can provide the transport mechanism to deliver increased bandwidth services, however MPLS and similar fixed solutions come at a premium for both the installation costs and the ongoing rentals, not forgetting the extended waiting times for connection.

Ethernet speed Wireless is now the preferred choice of many Local Authorities as a cost effective solution for School connectivity with savings of over 50% compared to expensive leased line circuits. Delivering increased bandwidth and greater availability (99.995% compared to 99.97%) they are also secure and scalable.
Wireless networking solutions can accommodate both Opex and Capex budgets. Either option offering substantial saving and improved services levels compared to wired networking deployments.
