Case Study: Trafford College achieves reliable high‑bandwidth Wi‑Fi and expanded mobile learning with Cambium Networks Xirrus Wi‑Fi

Trafford College Brings Learning to a New Level with Xirrus Wi-Fi Access Points

Trafford College, an "outstanding" further education provider serving over 10,000 students across four sites, needed a reliable, high‑bandwidth wireless network to support mobile teaching aids and the growing number of student devices in its new £25 million Altrincham facility. To meet this challenge the college selected Cambium Networks' Xirrus Wi‑Fi access points.

Cambium Networks deployed Xirrus Wi‑Fi APs to cover the new centre and refectory using fewer devices, cable runs and switch ports, reducing implementation cost while delivering wired‑like capacity and security. The stable, high‑density Wi‑Fi has enabled more mobile classroom tools, confident online exam administration, and positive user feedback with no complaints — giving Trafford College an easy‑to‑manage, scalable wireless solution.
