Case Study: Ashland School District achieves reliable AI-driven networks for digital learning and streamlined operations with Mist AI

Ashland, Oregon Schools Blaze A Trail for Digital Learning with Juniper AI-Driven Networking

Ashland School District, a public K–12 district in Ashland, Oregon, faced the challenge of modernizing campus networks to support pervasive digital learning and simplify operations for a small IT team. To meet these goals the district turned to Mist AI for wireless and Juniper for wired networking—deploying the Mist Platform (including Marvis virtual assistant, Wi‑Fi Assurance, and Wired Assurance) alongside Juniper EX and QFX switches to replace legacy controllers and improve visibility across sites.

Mist AI’s AI‑driven solution unified wired and wireless management, automated troubleshooting, and gave technicians packet capture and root‑cause insights without site visits. As a result, the district delivered an exceptional network experience to 3,400 students, faculty, and staff, streamlined operations through automation, accelerated upgrades and fixes, and empowered front‑line support to resolve complex issues more quickly—preparing school networks for future digital learning demands.
