Case Study: Beaufort County School District achieves a reliable, cost-saving 1:1 wireless network for digital learning with Extreme Networks

Beaufort County School District - Customer Case Study

Beaufort County School District, a 5.5 million square foot district with 37 locations and 22,000 wireless devices, faced a strained network as it rolled out a 1:1 device program and supported BYOD, online testing and emerging digital learning like virtual reality. They needed robust, secure wireless and wired management, application visibility and bandwidth prioritization while lowering costs. To meet those needs they turned to Extreme Networks and its wired and wireless solutions.

Extreme Networks deployed a complete solution—ExtremeWireless, ExtremeSwitching, ExtremeManagement, ExtremeControl and ExtremeAnalytics—giving Beaufort a “single pane of glass” for management, better security and per-building bandwidth visibility. The district realized measurable cost savings from limited lifetime warranties and lower AP/switch replacement costs, increased bandwidth to support 30-device classrooms and VR/online testing, and simplified operations for a small IT team, future-proofing the network.
