RM Technology has completed £1m worth of core network upgrades to support schools across the UK to meet full fibre requirements.
The new 100Gbps-capable, carrier-grade routers are expected to drive an annual growth rate in traffic demand of 20-30%
The upgrades Support the Department for Education’s (DfE) Connect the Classroom scheme in its attempt to enable pupils to benefit from access to online resources to enhance their learning.
Jason Tomlinson, MD of RM Technology, said: “In certain areas, heavy downloads are still blocking children’s education, so we decided to give back and upgrade our core network to meet the growing demands of our customers.
“As we strive to continue to improve the infrastructure that underpins education, we will soon be realising a 4G option that’ll enable us to reach more remote sites and reduce the cost of back up lines.”
