Assessing the Future: How Network Evaluations Drive K–12 Infrastructure Modernization

In the evolving landscape of K–12 education, robust and reliable network infrastructure is paramount to supporting digital learning, collaboration, and school safety initiatives. As districts aim to integrate advanced technologies like Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, it’s crucial to first understand the current state of their network systems.

Conducting a comprehensive network assessment allows IT leaders to identify existing limitations, plan for future growth, and ensure that new technologies will be compatible and effective. This proactive approach helps in aligning network capabilities with educational goals, optimizing performance, and securing funding through programs like E-Rate.

By prioritizing network assessments, K–12 institutions can make informed decisions, minimize disruptions, and pave the way for a future-ready educational environment.
