Case Study: Stafford County Area School District achieves a robust, high-performance digital learning network with RUCKUS Networks

School district makes the grade with RUCKUS® and digital learning initiatives

Stafford County Public Schools in Virginia, serving nearly 30,000 students across 32 schools, faced an aging wired and wireless network that couldn’t keep up with digital learning, high‑definition video and other bandwidth‑hungry applications. With a small IT team and tight budgets, the district needed a secure, high‑capacity infrastructure with better visibility and minimal hands‑on maintenance to support students, teachers and remote learning initiatives.

The district deployed CommScope RUCKUS solutions—ICX stackable switches, RUCKUS access points, SmartZone management and Cloudpath enrollment—to deliver reliable, high‑performance Wi‑Fi, simplified deployment, long‑haul stacking redundancy and centralized monitoring. The new network reduced troubleshooting, strengthened security and enabled distance learning, esports, AR/VR and outdoor classrooms, giving Stafford County a scalable, future‑ready platform for digital education.
