Case Study: Wicomico County Public Schools achieves district-wide reliable Wi‑Fi and scalable IoT connectivity with Cambium Networks' Wi‑Fi 6E

Transforming Education and Connectivity in Wicomico County Public Schools

Wicomico County Public Schools faced the challenge of connecting 15,000 students and 3,500 staff across 26 school locations while supporting roughly 25,000 devices and high‑stakes online testing. To modernize its districtwide network and meet growing IoT and BYOD demands, Wicomico County Public Schools partnered with Cambium Networks to deploy advanced Wi‑Fi 6E solutions.

Cambium Networks implemented a districtwide solution including 2,000 Wi‑Fi 6E access points, cnMatrix switches, EasyPass access services, Application Control, and the Cambium ONE management platform. The deployment delivered full classroom and common‑area coverage, seamless IoT integration (cleaning devices, projectors, energy systems), prioritized critical learning and testing applications, and reduced IT troubleshooting through centralized management—providing a scalable, future‑proof network that supports the district’s 15,000 students and 3,500 staff.
