Published: October 11, 2023
Southington Public Schools (SPS) is a district located in Connecticut that serves 6,200+ students in grades PreK through 12.

The mission of SPS is to engage students in a range of academic experiences to become informed, adaptive problem solvers who are committed to improving themselves and their communities.
Challenges
- Difficulty connecting student and faculty devices across multiple schools
- Significant increased number of devices connecting to network
- Improve uptime to 100%
- Enhanced bandwidth to support critical, bandwidth-hungry learning applications
"Support is 100% a selling point. If you're working with [other vendors] you might not get called back for days. You might not get a replacement for a broken device for days, whereas with Extreme, broken switch was replaced a day later."
