Case Study: Communauté d’Agglomération de Forbach achieves faster, simpler network management with NETGEAR 10 Gigabit PoE+ switches

The Forbach conurbation deploys NETGEAR 10 Gigabit PoE solutions to rebuild its core network and remote sites

The Communauté d'Agglomération de Forbach, a public sector organization in France, needed to overhaul its congested core network and remote sites across twenty-one municipalities. Their challenge was to merge and optimize their network for simpler management and improved performance, all while requiring a straightforward installation to stay within budget. They engaged integrator System Solutions and chose to implement NETGEAR's 10 Gigabit PoE+ switches for the project.

The NETGEAR solution involved deploying 55 M4300 and S3300 series switches, which provided a significant upgrade to a 10 Gigabit infrastructure with Power over Ethernet+ capabilities. This resulted in dramatically increased network speeds, simplified device installation without the need for new electrical outlets, and centralized power for equipment like phones and cameras. The customer was highly satisfied, citing a "real revolution" in broadband performance, cost savings from the easy implementation, and a major gain in productivity for their teams.
