Case Study: Colégio Next achieves instant, simultaneous access for 500+ iPads and stable classroom Wi‑Fi with Peplink MediaFast

Providing Lightning Fast Access To Educational Content Using MediaFast Caching

Colégio Next, a Brazilian school with more than 500 iPads in use, faced suburban bandwidth limits and the risk of network paralysis when many devices downloaded large media files or 2 GB iOS updates simultaneously. To avoid overwhelmed upstream links and unstable classroom Wi‑Fi, the school engaged Peplink to provide a scalable content distribution and wireless management solution.

Peplink deployed MediaFast for local caching of iOS updates and educational media, alongside Peplink AP Controller and Balance appliances to manage Wi‑Fi, MAC‑based AP assignment, and bandwidth priority for teachers, students, and guests. As a result, 500+ iPads gain instant, simultaneous access to cached content, classrooms sustain stable connections for 50+ concurrent users, and large iOS updates are downloaded once and distributed locally—eliminating update‑related congestion.
