The Challange
Blue Bell Hill School’s network infrastructure was built on legacy Netgear switches with a 1GbE uplink, creating performance bottlenecks and making it difficult to scale. The existing setup was unable to keep up with the increasing demands for fast and reliable connectivity in classrooms and administrative areas.
Our Solution
We completed a full network infrastructure upgrade in one week with minimal disruption. This included:
-
Replacing all core and edge switches with Ubiquiti UniFi equipment
-
Installing a 10GbE backbone to support higher data throughput and network speed
-
Deploying additional UniFi access points to improve wireless coverage and performance
-
Implementing a 5G wireless solution for ultra-low latency and mobile failover connectivity
The Result
-
Faster Network Performance: The 10GbE backbone removed previous bottlenecks and improved system responsiveness school-wide
-
Improved Wireless Access: Stronger, more reliable WiFi across classrooms, offices, and shared spaces
-
Higher Resilience: The 5G installation adds redundancy and supports devices needing ultra-low latency
-
Future-Proof Infrastructure: The new setup supports growing tech demands, hybrid learning, and future expansion
