How It Works
Campus Assessment
We survey every building, closet, and classroom — mapping existing infrastructure, documenting device density, and identifying coverage gaps.
Design & Engineering
Our engineers create detailed network designs including fiber backbone routing, switch closet layouts, wireless heat maps, and AV system schematics.
Phased Installation
We install during breaks and after hours to minimize disruption. Each phase is tested and commissioned before moving to the next building or floor.
Training & Handoff
IT staff receive hands-on training on all new systems. We provide complete as-built documentation, cable maps, and maintenance guides.
Common Questions
Education IT Solutions FAQ
Can you work around the school calendar to avoid disrupting classes?
Yes. We schedule major cabling and construction work during summer break, winter break, and spring break. Smaller deployments (WiFi access points, camera installations) happen after school hours and on weekends.
Do you support E-Rate funding applications?
We provide E-Rate compliant proposals and documentation to support your Category 1 and Category 2 funding applications. Our team understands the FCC filing requirements and competitive bid process.
How do you ensure FERPA compliance in your network designs?
We implement network segmentation separating student data systems from administrative and guest networks. Access controls, encrypted connections, and audit logging are built into every design.
What is your warranty on campus cabling installations?
We provide a 15-year materials and labor warranty on all structured cabling that meets our design standards. This covers Cat6A copper and fiber optic backbone installations.
Can you integrate with existing campus security systems?
Yes. We regularly integrate IP cameras, access control, and mass notification systems with existing campus security infrastructure including legacy analog systems through IP encoders.
