School lab and admin network

No matching photograph from this job is published here. We will not attach an unrelated site photo to fill the gap.

Project overview

A school needed student lab traffic kept apart from administration systems, with filtering that staff could live with.

Challenge

A school needed student lab traffic kept apart from administration systems, with filtering that staff could live with.

Environment

Education site in South Africa with a computer lab, admin offices, and a mixed device estate. School name and device counts withheld pending owner verification.

Solution

We designed a segmented network: lab, staff, and admin on separate paths, with content filtering on the student side and coverage aimed at where devices actually sit.

Technologies

Switched LAN with VLAN segmentation, classroom/lab Wi-Fi, filtering at the gateway, and documentation for the staff who inherit the network in December.

Implementation

Install windows followed the school calendar where possible so exams and admin deadlines were not the test environment.

Outcome

Lab and admin traffic were segmented with filtering on the student path. We do not publish a device count until it is verified.

Services involved

• Network infrastructure
• Business / campus Wi-Fi
• IT projects
• Limpopo on-site capability where the site required it
