Case Study: Tornillo Independent School District achieves reliable, secure, high‑speed Wi‑Fi and simplified network management with Extreme Networks

Maximizing IT Budget with Futureproof Wireless Network

Tornillo Independent School District, a small West Texas district of four schools serving 825 students and roughly 200 faculty, was struggling with an outdated wireless network that couldn’t keep up with district‑issued devices, mobile learning and remote access needs while operating with a small IT team and tight budget. To modernize and futureproof its infrastructure, Tornillo ISD turned to Extreme Networks, deploying Extreme Wireless and ExtremeCloud IQ.

Extreme Networks installed new Wi‑Fi access points and used ExtremeCloud IQ for single‑pane cloud management and remote troubleshooting, resulting in stronger signal strength, higher refresh rates and noticeably faster connectivity—Network Administrator Christopher Escarsega reported doubling or tripling prior speeds. Extreme Networks’ solution also improved network security, simplified management to reduce IT burden, and delivered an affordable, scalable platform that ensured reliable access to online learning and prioritized bandwidth for critical applications.
