In my secondary school we have internet connection. In the language laboratory we use wi-Fi with access with the password where each student can work individually under the teacher's control. In the classrooms we use the IWB with a computer is a panel with a pro-system, with connection to the wi-fi where each teacher carries out the activities with the support of the publishing houses.

In my primary school from one dsl made 2 wireless connection which use administration and teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Our school has wireless connection. We have 2 routers. One for Administration, one for teachers. The connection is made through password.

# data[].attributes.body
Our school is in only one building, all cabled, but also provided with 2 wifi networks, one for teaching and learning and one for the administration. Both are filtered by password and MAC address, because we haven't yet a good internet connection, so by now only some users are allowed to access the net.

# data[].attributes.body
In my elementary and primary school we have fixed access points and two Wi-Fi points that can only be used by the teams and in the classrooms of students and teachers that are part of the "Abalar Project" (Autonomous Project that in this case is developed With the students of 5th and 6th grade)

# data[].attributes.body
At our school, we have several WIFI networks. One for teachers (connection is allowed only with registered MAC), and one that is exclusively for the class that has 26 tablets.

# data[].attributes.body
All our ten school buildings have already been wired for ethernet in most of the rooms, still we are actually expanding each local network with WiFi access points ( I personally would recommend Ubiquity Networks "UniFi AP" series for good signal power, low cost and ease of configuration). The Wi-Fi service, protected with a passphrase, is generally made available for teachers with their own devices, but in some cases also lab computers and interactive displays in classrooms are connected wirelessly. Our connection bandwidth is very good and works at optimal speeds.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, we have a special wi-fi in each class and we only use it for internet connection to IWB so the demand is fairly enough for internet speed.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school we have a remote server but as we have a PDI in each class, each computer work as a wireless too, so in this case the central Wi-Fi doesn't bring down because each class can use their onw WiFi with a specific password. Everything can be controled on remote and the firewall is so strong than some time you have to ask for premission to get into some specific pages. Does it work with enough fluence or fast enough? That's a different question.

# data[].attributes.body
In our Istitute wifi is completely different respect Hermann's situation. We have a big institute composed by six schools, each of them with a wifi network. Every network is administrated by a server ( LINUX) Access to wifi is protected by password but teachers and students can't use the wifi. It's difficult to contact the administrator because it's a parent who work as a volenteer for the school (!!!!!!?????????) I konw but this is our situation.

Where we work
we have to use the wifi due to lack of wiring, because we can not use wiring until we reach the rooms because it is an old building.
Routers for the distribution of the internet signal were coupled.
Computers have an antenna to use the wifi and can access the sites for school searches.

Here in Greece mobile devices are prohibited in Schools. Although we do have a WIFI in the lab of the School, it is not used by students.
Although we have some teachers, who are using WIFI in their teaching process there are still some others(older one's) who are afraid of doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a good wifi connection that covers all spaces in each building ( we have 3 different school buildings), and two networks: teachers and students. Our firewall check the in and out connections. Until now we let students only use school devices because we are still defining our policy about the BYOD.

As already mentioned, our school is well equipped with routers and switches. Unfortunately, the entering fiber connection has the capacity on 20 MB, which isn't enough. Like in the video, we also guarantee private connection to be secured. This mean that each device needs to be authorized by the external company before access. Then, you will be given a password.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a very simple system: four routers that distribute wi-fi into the school covering quite all spaces and rooms. Access to teachers is given by a shared psw. In our lab we have another rooter with a different psw that we share with students when we do activities that involve BYOD. The router is simply shut down after activity finishes. Main problem is that the system is often overloaded. Would like to know how the magic device shown in the video is named?

At the moment we don't have wifi throughout our school campus. This mainly due to finances! However this may change this year due to government investment. Currently we do have wifi in the main staff room, science labs and SEN rooms - all are Ubiquiti and give us no problems at all.

Thanks to EU funding, we have a good internal wifi that covers the whole school area. There are four buildings that are well covered, but the incoming connection is very slow. This doesn't depend on us, unfortunately, but things are looking better.
When the incoming connection will be upgraded, the internal wifi network will be enough for teachers, school devices and students' devices.
Every teacher has a personal password, while students have a class password.

The Video frrom Hermann was clear and good to understand.
I don't know much about Ap's how they work and their security but I know that in my school we have several AP's all around the school, trying to cover all areas.We have HP AP's but they will be changed soon to another type. I guess it will be Meraki with MDM control. This will be done in order to cover the schools wi-fi areas better and helping us out controling the Mobile devices that we have. I am looking forward to this because hopefully it will make my work more efficient.

Please comment on the video.

The video was clear and easy to understand.

In what ways is your wifi network the same or different from Hermann’s?

We have many wifi points all around the school but they don't work well, we have to change it over to another kind of AP because this one is obsolete and we can't renew it.

How do you ensure your wifi is fast and copes with demand?

I think we will try many divices to connect at the same time.

What products do you recommend, e.g. Access Points?

I don't know so much about it so I will not recommend on this.

In my school there is a wifi connection, but there are  often problems connecting, perhaps because there is only one spider to 10 classrooms? I can’t answer this question because Teachers are not informed about the wireless network.

In my school the wifi network is made of 10 AP distribuited in several classrooms. These devices are all of the same model, simple, cheap and cannot accept many connections at the same time. I made this wifi network to allow teachers to use the electronic gradebook, not for students. For this purpose,  the machines works well.

# data[].attributes.body
In my Primary school pupils don't have access to the wifi connection unless using our classroom's IWB or one of the laptops in the lab, so wifi connection is  something that primarily regards the teachers.  Atthe moment our wifi system is quite simple and we can manage it without external technicians.

Our school wifi is completely different form Hermann's. I'm working in a big institute composed by three schools, each of them with a wifi network.
In order to cover all the big buildings, we use several access points. Access to wifi is protected by password but teachers and students can use the wifi as we work in BYOD a lot and we are a training center for all the teachers nearby.

Our wifi was pretty poor for the daily traffic and from this yer thanks to PON we managed to empower our wifi.
We don't have "spiders Ap"as Hermann's.

# data[].attributes.body
In our school we have 400 devices in Secondary School where each student have one.

We don’t have “spiders AP” as Hermann's ;) we use Meraki AP. And we are happy with the result.

# data[].attributes.body
We do have wifi network in our school, but not like in Hermann's school. We only have 4 AP's wich doesn't cover entire school or signal is too weak. In that case the classrooms must be LAN connected.

Ensuring fast WiFi is to use latest technologies and WiFi standards. Also SW of AP's and devices should be up to date. Setting up QoS which enables you to “shape” the traffic that passes through your network, and prioritize certain applications. Use of different channels with as little interference as possible. Usage of antivirus and antimalware SW.

Our two AP's are Lancom L54-g and the other two are Linksys EA 6300 - AC 1200. We know that these 4 AP's are not enough to cover all the school area, so we will expand our wifi covoerage with more AP's. If we want to enable students access via Eduroam, we will need to buy AP's that are stronger and fully equipted by Radius service.

I am not the network responsible and I do not know any technical detail. I can say that there are two wifi networks: one for teachers and students and the other for the administrative staff. The main problem is that the number of students and teachers is increasing and our network capacity to meet our needs is now insufficient, so we have to implement and optimize it.

We have been changing the infrastructure of our Wi-Fi for about two years. We have been extending it so that it could support the connection of many devices

The current access points are much more modern than the previous ones. The APs are XIRRUS.

The current ones can be programmed; you can establish control policies, and everything in a simple way from an online control panel.

We can get reports on the number of connected devices, or on the top applications by usage, or on the type of the device…..

We can see in real time the network traffic.

# data[].attributes.body
These days in my school is changing the wifi network, thanks to funding received from the European PON. So far it has worked out very badly with the bridges that interfered each other, and precluded the connection to many devices. Network security was given by a WPA password that many knew and that made even slower connection. The new network (do not know the technical equipment) provides protection by MAC Address. We'll see if it will work better

# data[].attributes.body
we have many problems with  wifi in school.

# data[].attributes.body
We actually have 3 different systems in use. In the main teaching area we have Ruckus APs (25 in total) with a dedicated hardware controller. It is a very stable system but the UI is not great. It does integrate with Windows AD - users authenticate once via a captive portal and this generates a unique key for that device and associates it with a specific SSID. You can restrict students to having a single device but allow staff have several drives. There is good granular time control for SSIDs. In the student common rooms we have 4 Meraki (part of Cisco now) APs - these have a cloud based controller and you must pay continually for a licence to avail of this. The UI is lovely and very intuitive - it also has a basic MDM for free. Not good for budget conscious. And finally in another area used only by the Benedictine monks who live adjacent to the school we have Ubiquiti single band APs there are the most effective of the Ubiquiti range. If you are going to use the new higher spec Ubiquiti gear then the cost differential between Ruckus/Meru diminishes. Budget is generally the key driver! Reliable copper infrastructure and robust PoE switches are crucial - so invest in this first and of course your internet connection. The end user wifi experience will ultimately by dictated by the weakest link: connection -> switching -> infrastructure -> AP.

We have had a lot of problems along the last years. mainly we had desktop computers and we started migrating to laptop computers without anticipate the new WiFi requirements we would have. We had not reflect on the infrastructure we would need for it, so we had to work in a reactive way, not the best way to work.

Nowadays, we are trying to create hardware and software policies for the school IT management, so, we hope in the future we will manage the IT system in a better way.

We have around 20 Xirrus XR 620 WiFi athens for 600 laptops and other devices, when we finish the deployment next month, we will see if it is enough, we hope it will be.

We have different SSIDs for students, staff, events and an open SSID just for breaks. Each teacher has its own username and password.

Our Wi-Fi network is adhoc.  We have a number of "personal" Wi-Fi AP around the building.  Each one is mac addressed filtered (locally), a pain to administer at present.  We are currently looking at a centralised system with proper APs.  As usual cost is the issue.
I did smile when Hermann referred to the staff at the server room.  Ours is like a cupboard that gets visited by me when I have to fix something or swap a backup drive.  I am that staff, on top of teaching a full timetable, so monitoring for faults........not possible.  If it is not reported by staff it is not fixed.

In my previous posts I described the situation in the main premises of our school. There is a secondary building which is about a km away: it is a very old, four-storey building with an amount of stone in the masonry which makes it difficult - I was said - for the wifi signal to go through walls and reach every corner. It must be true, because connecting can be hard in some classrooms.
There is a combination of LAN and WLAN in the mentioned building, but the range of the LAN network is very limited for lack of funds. Very recently, funding from the EU has allowed the administration to set up a local WLAN network with a number of access points, on order to provide connection to the web with considerable less spending compared to the cabling of the whole building. Each classroom has been provided with a desktop and projector that are connected to the WLAN. It works, apparently, but students are not allowed to tap into the network. If they use their smartphones, they do it on their own private internet plans.
