Case Study: Regional School Unit 25 boosts bandwidth and wireless coverage with RUCKUS Networks

Regional School Unit 25 boosts wireless coverage 54% with RUCKUS Networks

Regional School Unit 25 (RSU 25), a school district in Maine, faced the challenge of providing reliable wireless coverage across six aging school buildings with complex layouts and thick walls. The district needed a scalable, budget-friendly network solution that its small IT team could manage efficiently without recurring licensing fees. They turned to RUCKUS Networks for a solution.

RUCKUS Networks implemented a solution comprising 101 RUCKUS wireless access points, 33 ICX switches, and RUCKUS SmartZone controllers. This provided centralized management from a single dashboard and eliminated ongoing license costs. The results were a 10x increase in bandwidth, a 54% improvement in wireless coverage, and the ability to support a 100% increase in wireless devices, enabling secure and reliable connections for all users.
