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.
