Case Study: Greenfields Primary School achieves reliable, high-capacity school connectivity with NETGEAR and Con Ed

Greenfields Primary’s wireless network fit for teaching 21st century children

Greenfields Primary School, a UK primary school, faced connectivity challenges due to an outdated network and the physical constraints of its Grade II-listed building. This was exacerbated by increased demand for reliable internet to support modern teaching tools and virtual meetings. Vendor NETGEAR, through partner Con Ed, provided a solution using their WAX630 Pro WiFi access points and MS108EUP multi-gigabit Ethernet switches.

The NETGEAR solution delivered a significant uplift in speed and capacity, with the PoE capability simplifying installation in the heritage building. The result is a highly reliable and robust network where staff experience no connectivity issues during intensive use, future-proofing the school's IT infrastructure and supporting its 21st-century teaching goals.
