Case Study: Gørlev Idrætsefterskole prepares for digital exams with SmartShare Systems

Gørlev Idrætsefterskole - Customer Case Study

The customer, Gørlev Idrætsefterskole, faced the challenge of preparing its wireless network for nationwide digital exams. Their primary concern was ensuring the network could handle the extreme stress of 160 students connecting to the internet simultaneously in one space, a scenario that differed significantly from regular daily use. To address this, the school partnered with vendor SmartShare Systems and utilized their product, the SmartShare StraightShaper, to manage bandwidth allocation fairly.

SmartShare Systems assisted by participating in a national exam trial at the school. Their monitoring during the trial revealed that while bandwidth was sufficient, the issue was with slow connections between the many client devices and Wi-Fi access points. This expert analysis provided the school with a clear diagnosis and actionable advice. As a result, the school's IT lead gained greater confidence in the SmartShare system, increasing their use of its functions to ensure future exam success.
