Education

Schools and colleges need Wi-Fi that copes with hundreds of users, labs that work on the first day of term, safe internet for students and bells that ring on time. We plan, install and support all of it, and do the noisy work during holidays.

What a campus needs

A campus is a small town: offices, classrooms, labs, hostels, a library and gates, often spread across several buildings. The network has to reach all of them, keep students safe online, and still be simple enough for a small IT team to run.

  • Campus Wi-Fi for classrooms, staff rooms, hostels and grounds
  • Computer labs: data points, switches and racks, ready before exams
  • Fibre between blocks
  • Firewalls with content filtering and separate student and staff networks
  • CCTV for gates, corridors, exam halls and grounds
  • Public address systems and scheduled bells
  • Microsoft 365 for education: email, Teams and Office
  • Boom barriers and gate automation for entrances

How we work on campus

We plan big installations for vacations and weekends, so classes and exams carry on. Labs are tested before term starts.

Safe internet is a policy as much as a product. We set filtering rules with your principal or management, keep student, staff and office networks apart, and give you reports you can share when asked.

For Microsoft 365 for education, we check eligibility first, at no cost, then set up accounts by class and train your teachers.

Projects

  • Bishop Jerome Institute, Kollam

    2.5 lakh sq ft, three academic blocks

    A new campus network across the Engineering, Management and Architecture blocks, about 2.5 lakh sq ft, built after a full audit of the old one.

    • Kollam
    • Education
  • Birla Open Minds School, Kollam

    One team for every system in the school. Cabling in trays to each classroom and office, CCTV inside and around the campus, biometric access and campus Wi-Fi. IP phones for the office and a firewall that keeps students safe online.

  • Skylar International School, Kollam

    ELV design and installation for a multi-storey school, from the classrooms to the perimeter. Structured cabling in trays, CCTV, biometric access, Wi-Fi and IP phones. A firewall filters internet access for students and staff.

Questions we often get

Can you set up a computer lab before exams?

Yes. Give us the date and we plan cabling, switches and testing to finish before it.

How do you keep students safe online?

A firewall with web filtering blocks unsafe sites and enforces safe search. Students, staff and the office each get their own network, with rules agreed with you.

Do you help with Microsoft 365 for education?

Yes. We check eligibility with Microsoft for free, then set up email, Teams and accounts, and train your teachers.

Planning an ELV package? Send us your drawings and BOQ.

We reply with a clear scope and a quote. If you do not have drawings yet, we will visit the site and work it out with you.
