Case Study: Huntington Independent School District achieves one of Texas’s fastest school networks with RUCKUS Networks

Huntington Independent School District doubles network speed to 2 Gbps with RUCKUS Networks

Huntington Independent School District, a small rural school district in Texas, was struggling with an unreliable network that crashed under the load of online learning applications. Their previous vendor provided slow support and costly, ineffective fixes. Their challenges included unreliable Wi-Fi, switches limited to 1 Gbps, and a time-intensive network management process for a small IT staff. They turned to RUCKUS Networks for a solution.

By deploying RUCKUS ICX switches and RUCKUS Wi-Fi 6 certified access points managed by a RUCKUS Virtual SmartZone controller, the district immediately increased its network speed to 2 Gbps. This solution provided simplified, single-pane-of-glass management and future-proofed the network. The result was a transformation from one of the slowest public education networks to one of the fastest school networks in the state, which now supports more online learning and better safety communications.
