Challenge

Chartwell School serves students with language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia. Its staff wanted to upgrade Internet speed and build a new wireless network that could effectively support high-bandwidth learning tools, multi-device connectivity, and newer cloud-based teaching solutions.

Solution

• Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access Points for better Wi-Fi coverage and performance
• Cisco Mobility Express to support its modernized learning environment
• Catalyst 3750 Switches for network resilience, scalability, energy-efficient network power consumption
• Cisco 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers for high-performance WAN connectivity

Outcomes

Chartwell rapidly deployed an 802.11ac Wave 2 WLAN that easily handles the increase in bandwidth and supports wireless multitasking, collaboration, and distance learning. Students can access cloud-based applications, such as reading achievement software, both at school and home. Chartwell now has a solution to support its strategic vision for learning.

Cisco solutions give us the wireless networking capacity to enhance student learning experiences today and the foundation to support future innovation.
