The right network for your school - technically and financially.

School WiFi and network upgrades designed around your requirements, existing infrastructure and budget – with solutions from RUCKUS, TP-Link Omada and Cisco.

Great school WiFi starts with the network underneath it.

A school’s connectivity is about much more than access points.

Switching, cabling, capacity, segmentation and wireless infrastructure all need to work together to provide the reliable connectivity that modern teaching, learning and school operations depend upon.

That’s why we look at the complete LAN and WLAN environment before recommending a solution.

From the initial assessment and network design through to hardware, installation, commissioning and ongoing support, Simpli-Fi can take care of the complete network lifecycle.

And importantly, we won't recommend replacing infrastructure that doesn't need replacing.

School WiFi & network upgrade case studies

From individual primary schools and specialist SEND environments to secondary schools and Multi-Academy Trusts, we support education environments with very different connectivity requirements.

Take a look at how we’re helping schools build reliable network infrastructure and supporting them long after installation.

Why schools choose Simpli-Fi
for WiFi & network upgrades

For more than 20 years, we’ve helped schools and academy trusts build reliable network infrastructure around the way they actually teach, work and use technology.

Because we’re not tied to a single manufacturer or approach, we can design around your environment, existing infrastructure, performance requirements and budget – whether that means optimisation, a phased upgrade or complete LAN and WLAN replacement.

Our school network designs can also help schools and Multi-Academy Trusts plan infrastructure in line with Department for Education digital and technology standards.

Designed around your school

No two schools have identical requirements. We consider your buildings, users, devices, digital strategy, existing infrastructure and budget before recommending a solution.

LAN + WLAN expertise

Great wireless performance depends on the infrastructure underneath it. We design and upgrade switching, wired networks and wireless infrastructure as one connected environment.

Protect existing investment

A struggling network doesn't automatically mean everything needs replacing. We can assess whether optimisation, targeted replacement, phased investment or a complete upgrade is most appropriate.

Multi-vendor expertise

We work with leading networking technologies including RUCKUS, TP-Link Omada and Cisco, giving schools greater choice without being tied to one manufacturer.

Cost-effective options

Not every school requires the same level of infrastructure. Our broader technology portfolio means professionally designed network upgrades can potentially start from around £6,000 for suitable environments.

Long-term support

Our relationship doesn't end at installation. Managed support, proactive monitoring and flexible SLAs help keep school networks secure, reliable and performing as requirements evolve.
