RGO College in Middelharnis, Netherlands, selects Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise to update its network infrastructure
Utrecht, The Netherlands, April 20, 2026 – RGO College in Middelharnis has selected an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise network infrastructure solution to ensure secure connectivity for its students and staff.
Located in Goeree-Overflakkee. this comprehensive secondary school offers education at multiple levels, including gymnasium, atheneum, HAVO and MAVO1 . With approximately 1,000 students, RGO College focuses on inspiring education, personal development and thorough preparation for higher education in a modern and future-oriented learning environment.
RGO College encountered connectivity issues impacting staff and students due to outdated LAN/WLAN network infrastructure. The school chose to deploy Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6360 switches and more than 100 Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess® Stellar AP1321 and AP1351 Access Points (APs). The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® Cirrus network management from the cloud and the implementation of Network Access Control (NAC) enable an additional layer of security.
In accordance with the IBP (Information Security & Privacy) standards framework in the Netherlands, the network has been configured to be fully secure. Network Access Control (NAC) is used to configure network segmentation, so devices, students and staff are separated from one another on the network and assigned specific profiles, roles and permissions. Digital whiteboards used in classrooms are securely connected to the network using Private Pre-Shared Keys (PPSK).
Now, with a secure, stable, cloud-managed network, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and little to no maintenance, RGO College is well positioned to deliver a high-quality experience for students and staff that meets the expectations of a future-looking educational institution.
