Case Study: Gardener Schools Group achieves campus-wide, always-on high-speed Wi-Fi and simplified network management with RUCKUS Networks

Academic excellence built on a solid RUCKUS® network foundation

Gardener Schools Group is a family-owned group of four co-educational schools and a nursery across seven London sites educating nearly 2,000 pupils with 300 staff. Facing patchy and weak Wi‑Fi caused by mixed building materials and roaming issues on legacy systems, the group needed always-on, higher-capacity wireless, simpler single-vendor management, fewer engineering callouts, and a clear upgrade path to support modern teaching and learning.

GSG deployed RUCKUS indoor and outdoor Wi‑Fi 6 and Wi‑Fi 7 access points, RUCKUS ICX switches and the RUCKUS One cloud management platform, installed in two weeks by EducAite with no downtime and onsite team training. The rollout eliminated Wi‑Fi black spots, boosted throughput in large spaces, delivered full multisite visibility and faster incident resolution with near‑zero call‑backs, reduced operational costs by repurposing APs, saved IT time through AI-driven automation, and future‑proofed the network for IoT and next‑generation services.
