Delivering a Secure Experience for the Modern K-12 Environment

Green Bay Area Public Schools serve nearly 20,000 students and 2,500 staff across 43 locations. At each of those locations, every student and teacher is consuming a curriculum that is increasingly online and driven by streaming videos, all of which needs to be supported by their network. With as much as 1.5 GBps going across the network in just streaming video traffic, that is no small task. And with an extensive network of IP security cameras to monitor, manage, and keep secure, Green Bay would need a network solution capable of handling the data generated across this network of surveillance devices.

But online learning is not just a performance challenge. Keeping students safe when they’re online is just as important, and doing so means the school’s IT team needs granular control over who can access what on the network.

Challenges

• Scalable network solution to support ever changing digital learning environment and increasing number of devices
• Reliable, uninterrupted connectivity across massive district for all end-users
• More devices, more students, adding incredible demands to the same network supporting the district’s cloud security camera system — critical for maintaining physical security and student safety.
