Trust us when we say we understand that schools rely on efficient networks and integrated technologies. With technology advancing rapidly, and schools striving to provide the best educational tools in their classrooms, staying on top of these advances is critical. We, at Network Connections, have experience working with educational institutions to implement technology changes, commission new IoT devices and update existing legacy networks to provide connectivity into the future. On a day-to-day basis, the IT needs of a school can be highly varied. Dozens of classrooms often rely on different forms of connectivity at a time. Whether it’s an internet connection, audio and visual interface, or telecommunications – we stand ready to create a custom solution for you. The learning environment takes on many different roles and needs each day. Beyond the classroom, schools manage a tremendously high volume of data.
