HPE School Networking

Secure, AI-powered networking for your school

How does upgrading network connectivity benefit a school?

If your network was built more than seven years ago, by now it’s probably due an upgrade. Teachers and learners need to be securely connected at scale—without compromising performance or overburdening staff responsible for IT.

If over time, you’ve become used to patchy connections, slow and unreliable upload and download times, the benefits from beefing up your school’s network infrastructure will be felt across the whole school. You can see time savings and improved pupil experience, including both increased collaboration and support for personalised learning. All whilst exceeding the standards set up by the DfE.

RM has been working with our partner HPE Aruba Networking for over a decade, offering a range of leading wired, wireless, and software solutions for robust connectivity and control. As a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for 18 years in a row, HPE was RM’s logical choice of partner. Our solutions set up students to succeed in today’s digital world.
