Case Study: Humble Independent School District achieves uninterrupted, high-performance network with Extreme Networks

Network Upgrade at Humble Independent School District Sets Students Up for Success

Humble Independent School District, one of the largest districts in Texas serving over 42,000 students across 42 schools, faced persistent network failures that disrupted classroom instruction. With an aging infrastructure, 40,000+ student and faculty devices, 3,850 access points and a lean IT team of eight, the district needed a reliable, easy-to-manage network—so Humble selected Extreme Networks, deploying solutions including ExtremeSwitching, Extreme Management Center and ExtremeMobility (Wave 2 APs).

Extreme Networks upgraded Humble’s wired and wireless fabric and centralized management, improving bandwidth, interoperability and supportability. The result: virtually no unplanned switch outages, a major drop in service calls, no need to hire extra staff, and faster, more reliable device connectivity—outcomes that let Humble refocus IT resources on education, safety and future initiatives.
