Whilst everyone’s out, get FCT in…

The pandemic isn’t stopping First Class Technologies help its customers get ready for when the world returns to normal.

In what should usually have been half term, we’ve been busy working at a Cannock high school, getting things ready for when the students can safely return.

First Class Technologies received a call from the headteacher last week, asking for advice about upgrading the school’s current systems.

The team was able to quickly survey the situation, recommend the most suitable solution, confirm investment costs and book the job in.

This project involved expanding the school’s structured cable plant, to make sure every classroom had enough Wi-Fi coverage to enable pupils to use electronic devices throughout the whole school.

Whilst on-site, our IT engineers also replaced 32 old access points with 90 new, state-of-the-art Ubiquiti UniFi Wireless Access Points. The new UniFi Nano HD technology APs utilise 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology to communicate with numerous clients at the same time.

The improvements made will help increase multi-user throughput to ensure the whole system operates more efficiently, giving an improved experience for teachers and pupils.

Now is an ideal time for educational establishments and businesses to upgrade and add new technology, whilst premises aren’t fully occupied.

If your school, campus or business needs to refresh its wireless solutions, or upgrade any existing technology, First Class Technologies would love to help.
