..schools stay ahead in digital transformation with superior WiFi 6 through DfE’s Connect the Classroom Scheme.


The Connect the Classroom scheme is a fully funded programme by the Department of Education that aims to improve the wireless infrastructure of more than 600 schools across the UK.

  • Enterprise level WiFi from top tier vendors

  • WiFi 6 Access Points

  • Core and edge Switching

  • Security at every layer of the network

  • 10-year support and warranty on all equipment

  • Cloud-controlled dashboard with 10-year software upgrades
