Robust School Networks—Engineered for Learning, Priced for Schools
Connect every classroom, hall and office — securely, simply, and affordably.
Cambium switches deliver fast, reliable connections to every corner of your school, keeping cloud learning, safeguarding systems, admin, and devices all running smoothly—even during the busiest days. Our solutions meet—and exceed—DfE network switching standards for education, guaranteeing your infrastructure is ready for the demands of digital learning now and for years to come.
With Cambium’s intuitive cloud management dashboard, your IT team (or ours) can monitor the network centrally, apply updates remotely, and quickly resolve issues—minimising classroom disruption and taking the technical hassle out of running a modern school. Features like network segmentation and VLANs keep students, staff, and admin data safely separated, ensuring excellent safeguarding, privacy, and compliance.
You don’t need a huge budget or technical expertise to deliver world-class networking. ekte’s Cambium solutions are great value for money: robust, reliable hardware that’s easy to manage and built to last, helping schools do more with less. It’s the confidence to say “yes” to the next wave of digital adoption—even with a constrained budget.
The Network Infrastructure Nobody Thinks About (Until It Stops Working)
Network cabling is the plumbing of modern schools—invisible, unglamorous, and taken for granted until something goes wrong. Slow WiFi in the hall? Probably the switches. Devices dropping off during online assessments? Could be aging Cat5e cables. Reception desk can't access the MIS? Likely a VLAN misconfiguration. ekte designs, installs, and maintains structured cabling and switching infrastructure that just works—Cat6a copper for future-proofing, fibre backbones for high-traffic areas, and Cambium switches with cloud management so your network doesn't need constant hands-on fiddling. It's the boring foundation that makes everything else possible.
Trust & Knowledge: Infrastructure Designed for Real Schools
We survey your site—old buildings with solid walls, temporary classrooms, split sites—and design cabling runs that meet DfE standards without requiring a building project budget. ekte explains copper vs fibre in plain English, recommends Cat6a where it's worth it (and Cat5e where it's fine), and sizes switch stacks for current device counts plus growth. You get a clear plan, not a proposal padded with unnecessary kit or labour hours.
Supported: From Survey to Sign-Off, We Handle It
Network cabling isn't just pulling cables through ceilings—it's planning routes that avoid disruption, labelling every port so future maintenance isn't a guessing game, certifying installations to BS EN standards, and configuring switches with VLANs that separate pupil, staff, and admin traffic for safeguarding and compliance. ekte manages the whole process: site surveys, permissions, installation during holidays or after-hours, testing, documentation, and handover training so your team knows what's where.
Peace of Mind: Built to Last, Easy to Manage
Cambium switches give you enterprise-grade reliability at education-friendly prices, with cloud management that lets you monitor the entire network from one dashboard—no need to log into individual switches or drive between sites. VLANs keep data secure, quality-of-service settings prioritise critical traffic (MIS, video calls, safeguarding systems), and remote updates mean patches and firmware upgrades happen without engineer callouts. It's resilient, manageable infrastructure that doesn't need babysitting.
Dedicated to Your School’s Success
Education infrastructure has unique pressures: installations squeezed into six-week summer holidays, working around exam timetables, and budgets that can't stretch to "rip it out and start over" every few years. From compact primaries to sprawling secondaries with mobile classrooms, to MATs coordinating across multiple sites, we deliver cabling that keeps working year after year without needing emergency weekend callouts or mid-term rewiring projects.
