Case Study: Hjørring Gymnasium achieves fast, reliable internet and equal bandwidth sharing with SmartShare StraightShaper by SmartShare Systems

Hjørring Gymnasium - Customer Case Study

Hjørring Gymnasium, a school with approximately 1000 students, faced a challenge with its increasing internet traffic from an average of 2000 daily mobile devices. Its 100 Mbit/s connection was maxed out, leading to a poor user experience. To monitor traffic and optimally exploit its bandwidth, the school turned to vendor SmartShare Systems and their SmartShare StraightShaper product.

SmartShare Systems implemented the StraightShaper 8000 to handle a newly upgraded 1 Gbit/s connection. The solution allocated bandwidth evenly amongst users, eliminating bottlenecks and providing a fast, stable, and reliable internet connection. The IT manager stated that without the SmartShare solution, 90% of the students would have a negative network experience.
