Case Study: The Walker School achieves scalable, reliable high-speed Internet for digital learning with Comcast Business Ethernet

The Walker School Preps Students for Careers in a Digital Economy with Fiber-Based Ethernet from Comcast Business

The Walker School, a co‑ed private Pre-K–12 school in Marietta, GA, needed a faster, more reliable network to support a technology‑rich curriculum and a growing BYOD environment. With more than 1,000 students, 180 staff, 400 networked computers and six mobile labs, the school’s 15 Mbps connection was becoming a bottleneck during peak use.

The school upgraded to Comcast Business Ethernet Dedicated Internet, a fiber‑based 100 Mbps service that supports separate student and staff Wi‑Fi networks. The seamless summer installation delivered up to seven times more bandwidth at an affordable, scalable cost, enabling cloud services, Google Apps pilots, tablet programs and reliable student information systems while providing flexibility to add more devices.
