RM Technology is giving schools access to a secure 100Gb-ready, fibre-first network thanks to a new partnership with Sky Business Wholesale that will help close the digital skills gap with high-speed services, including a dedicated Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) handoff and shadow VLANs.
This new strategic alliance will also strengthen RM Technology’s existing capability and with a continued delivery of robust solutions to schools nationwide.
Matt Bearpark, GM of Broadband, RM Technology said: "This isn’t just about broadband — it’s about bridging the digital divide and ensuring schools, teachers, and students have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed.
“By teaming up with Sky Business Wholesale, we’re delivering infrastructure that’s built for the classrooms of tomorrow.”
Damian Saunders, Managing Director at Sky Business Wholesale (pictured) added: “At Sky, we believe every young person deserves access to the tools and opportunities that unlock their potential.
“Our RM Technology partnership will deliver high-speed connectivity and also lay the digital foundations for inclusive, future-ready classrooms.”
This partnership complements Sky’s broader commitment to digital inclusion through initiatives like Sky Up Academy Studios, which enables young people to explore careers in media and technology and The Edit — a digital storytelling and media literacy programme delivered in schools in collaboration with Adobe.
It will also provide a timely and strategic solution to bridging the digital divide, especially as schools navigate digitally enhanced curricula.
