Challenge.
Challenge.
The district supports 15 schools (10 elementary, 5 middle) and needed a dependable, consistent network to meet growing educational technology demands. However, the existing environment presented multiple issues: Outdated network infrastructure across multiple sites Inconsistent performance and reliability Limited capacity for increasing device and application needs Complex multi-site deployment requiring minimal disruption to school operations Lack of standardization across campuses Legacy 62.5-micron fiber backbone requiring modernization to 50-micron
