The classroom of tomorrow promises an amazing education. Blended learning, flipped classrooms, video delivery of digital curriculum, video conference and other modern learning models can better engage students and help educators be more effective. But they also create new challenges for schools and their overtaxed IT teams.
Instead of lesson plans depending solely on skilled teachers, they also depend on consistent, reliable connectivity to school networks for access to educational resources. CommScope can help, with Ruckus solutions that power the connected modern classroom with grade-A Wi-Fi and edge switching performance coupled with simple, market-leading secure onboarding and policy management.
Whether you are a teacher tasked with running classroom Wi-Fi or an IT department managing all school computers and networks—from small school to large district, the digital classroom is driving critical network investments.
As schools transition to 1:1 learning and BYOD (bring your own device) computing, classrooms are implementing more video learning, online conferencing with guest speakers, virtual reality field trips and more—all requiring a high-performance digital network.
As 1:1 mobile learning and BYOD computing increase the number of devices and video content on your school network, your infrastructure should be able to support the growing demand with simple, seamless scalability.
The top priority for IT is broadband and network capacity, as more devices are coming onto the network. A multi-gigabit Ruckus network can be scaled up easily without incurring rip-and-replace costs, while providing the highest device density per access point.
IT is under enormous pressure to ensure that student data is protected. Our network solutions provide secure device authentication and policy management with sensitive data encryption, firewall protection and 100 percent secure connections.
The network must always be available to power a state-of-the-art classroom experience. Our future-proof network, with upgradeable uplinks and flexible switch deployment options, supports 1:1 video-based classroom learning.

One of the first things we’ve seen is equipping buses with Wi-Fi and LTE backhaul (such as the RUCKUS M510 access point) and park it in neighborhoods where families lack internet access. The driver locks it up and can return the next day to pick up.

buses across the country, districts are creating Wi-Fi hotspots in under-privilege communities so that their
students can get online.
