Learning should not stop because the Wi-Fi did.
K-12 districts, private academies, and after-school programs run on connectivity now. We design campus networks for one-to-one device programs, online testing, and classroom AV, with content filtering and data segmentation built in from the start.
Wi-Fi 7 networking
Multi-gig, segmented, surveyed before install.
Cameras you own
Local NVR storage, no cloud fees.
Door and gate access
Mobile credentials, intercoms, audit logs.
Cabling to code
Cat6A, fiber, documented.
What goes wrong without the right infrastructure
One-to-one programs need real density
Thirty Chromebooks in one room is a small office. Multiply by every classroom, every period. We size Wi-Fi 7 access points for the device counts you actually have.
CIPA filtering is tied to funding
E-Rate requires Children's Internet Protection Act compliance. Filtering, monitoring, and policy enforcement are designed into the network, not added on afterward.
FERPA means separation
Student records and administrative systems must stay off the same network as guests and student devices. That is a VLAN design decision, and it has to be made deliberately.
Parents ask about the doors first
Front-door control, visitor sign-in, hallway cameras, and a lockdown that works from any approved device are now standard expectations on the campus tour.
How each service applies to education
Campus Wi-Fi designed for how schools are built.
Brick walls, long hallways, metal gymnasiums, athletic fields, and dozens of devices per room. We survey the actual building and design for those conditions.
- Wi-Fi 7 APs sized for real classroom device counts
- Outdoor APs for fields, lots, and recess areas
- VLANs for admin, faculty, student, guest, IoT, and security
- CIPA-compliant filtering with grade-level policies
- Bandwidth priority for testing platforms on assessment days
- Multi-gig backhaul so the whole building is not sharing one gig
Visitor management and lockdown-ready doors.
Every parent wants to know how their child gets in and out safely. Door access, visitor sign-in, and cameras on one platform give you the answer and the records to back it up.
- Front-door buzz-in with video intercom verification
- Visitor management with ID scan and badge printing
- Hallway, entrance, and exterior cameras with AI detection
- Staff door access with audit logs
- Building-wide lockdown from any approved device
- After-hours zones with separate schedules for events and athletics
Every classroom, every closet, wired properly.
Older schools carry older cabling: Cat3 voice runs, Cat5 from a grant project years ago, and mystery wires over the drop ceiling. We document what is there and build a clean foundation around it.
- Cat6A to every classroom, office, AP, and camera
- Plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces as code requires
- IDF closets per wing or floor with proper racks
- Fiber backbone between buildings on multi-building campuses
- As-built drawings the district can keep on file
Staff devices and accounts, managed.
Faculty laptops, administrative systems, and student records all depend on accounts and devices that need to be patched and protected. We manage Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for staff, enforce MFA on administrative accounts, keep devices updated through our monitoring platform, and run CrowdStrike on staff endpoints, so FERPA-sensitive data is protected on the device as well as the network.
Learn more about managed IT →CIPA and FERPA are design requirements, not paperwork.
Filtering policies, network segmentation, and access logs are configured and documented so that when the district, the auditor, or a parent asks how student data and student safety are handled, the answer is already written down.
