Case Study: CDM ICT achieves high-performance, lower‑TCO Wi‑Fi 6 for a Belgian school with Cambium Networks

CDM ICT Empowers High-Density School Environment with Cambium Networks’ Wi-Fi 6 Solutions

CDM ICT, a Belgium-based one-stop IT solutions provider, was tasked with delivering reliable, high-density Wi‑Fi for a school under a five-year total cost of ownership that included access points, lifetime warranty and five years of cloud management. After evaluating options, CDM ICT selected Cambium Networks’ Wi‑Fi 6 solutions (including XV3‑8 access points, cnMatrix EX2028P switch and cnMaestro cloud management) for their performance, warranty and cost advantages.

Using Cambium Networks’ Wi‑Fi Designer and a site survey, CDM ICT preconfigured equipment in cnMaestro, trained ICT coordinators and installed the XV3‑8 APs and cnMatrix switch—completing the deployment in one month. The network now supports 500 students, teachers and staff across 18 classrooms, with the XV3‑8 delivering 47% higher bidirectional throughput in tri‑radio mode versus the competitor, a 2.4x better price‑performance ratio and an average 38% lower TCO, plus no paid licensing for updates and management.
