High School Oos Moot embraces modern IT Infrastructure with CommScope’s portfolio of network connectivity solutions

High School Oos-Moot faced a challenge similar to many other educational institutions, in that it had a legacy network consisting of non-enterprise network switching and access points. The wireless local area network (WLAN) was extremely inconsistent, did not offer adequate coverage, and was unreliable at best.

South Africa schools have a dire need for both modern IT infrastructure and reputable deployment partners, notes Johan Meyer, the school’s terrain and building manager. “The project with CommScope and Emtelle has not only eliminated such frustrations for Oos-Moot High School but will assist us with marketing our school as having a truly modern IT infrastructure—something to which potential new students are definitely attracted to.”
