Challenges

Puxico School District wanted to replace its 1GB backbone, composed of switches from multiple vendors, with a higher performing and uniform 10GB core.
A robust solution was required that could support a growing number of devices, including school laptops and new digital security cameras, and that was scalable enough to adapt to future needs.
It was critical for the district to install a reliable wireless network in order to carry out state-mandated testing for all students.
