Campus Network Hardware for Schools and Universities
Wireless density and access capacity delivered against academic calendars and fixed budget years.
- Delivery inside a vacation window
- Density capable wireless
- Firm pricing held across a budget year
- Phased delivery by building
Stock racked by part number so allocation against a project is a physical check.
What Slows These Projects Down
- Work confined to vacation windows which makes a late delivery a full term delay
- Lecture theatre density that a coverage based wireless design cannot carry
- Budget released in a financial year that does not align with the install window
- Estates spanning buildings of very different ages and cabling standards
How Hardware Is Actually Deployed Here
Vacation Rollout
Access switching and access points delivered building by building inside a fixed vacation window
Density Upgrade
Lecture theatres and libraries re-covered for concurrent client counts rather than floor area
Halls of Residence
Repeatable low cost access capacity across many small closets
Research Network
Higher capacity uplinks and optics added for data intensive departments
Groups That Fit This Sector
Networking Accessories
Cisco and Huawei transceivers, uplink modules and interface cards matched to the platform, the reach and the fibre already installed.

Programmes We Run in This Sector
Campus Wireless Deployment
Wireless projects are rarely stopped by the access point. They are stopped by a mount, a PoE class or a licence count that nobody confirmed before the order went out.
Network Refresh Programme
Most refresh projects fail on supply rather than on design. A phased programme only works if every phase arrives complete on the date the change window was booked.
Support Contracts and SmartNet
A support contract registered under a reseller name is of limited use to the organisation that owns the outage. Entitlement is written under the end user name.
Project Cases in This Sector
University Campus Wi-Fi Density Upgrade
Lecture theatres and the library could not carry the client counts actually present, while the work could only happen during vacations
Manufacturer Multi Site Network Standard
Each site had bought its own network hardware locally, so no two plants ran the same equipment and no spares could be shared
Guides for This Sector
PoE Budget Planning for Access Switches
Port count and power budget are two separate limits. Most PoE shortfalls come from planning only the first one.
Access Point Mounting and Installation
Wireless installs are rarely delayed by the access point. They are delayed by the mount, the power class or the cable that feeds it.
Education Supply Questions
What Does Education Supply Actually Involve
Wireless density and access capacity delivered against academic calendars and fixed budget years. Hardware is allocated against the project and released against the installation calendar rather than shipped as one consignment.
Can Hardware Be Held Against a Phased Rollout
Yes. Allocating the full quantity early holds the price and protects against a mid programme discontinuation, while delivery stages against your calendar.
Do You Supply Serial Level Records
Yes, on every consignment. Serial lists are issued before shipment and can be grouped per site so each crew reconciles against its own list.
Can You Deliver Direct to Each Site
Yes. Consignments go worldwide from Hong Kong and can be released to individual site addresses under your own documentation.
