117-year-old school invests in €200k ICT network
A 117-year-old school in Dublin’s Booterstown area has invested €200,000 in deploying a state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure.
Having decided to upgrade its network infrastructure, passive and active, wired and wireless, St Andrew’s College commenced a design process with Kedington to determine the optimum solution, balancing functionality, longevity and cost-effectiveness.
As the passive (cable) infrastructure was seen as a 20-year investment, it was decided that a CAT 6A solution, together with a 20-year guarantee from a global manufacturer should be installed. Kedington produced a resilient network design based on this new passive infrastructure for a managed gigabit to desk switching infrastructure and the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi system.
