This week, Solutions inc. successfully won a competitive Meru Wireless LAN contract to supply Parkstone Grammar School in Poole, Dorset. The school has impressive plans to support a raft of mobile and handheld learning equipment as it strives to support a 1:1 learning initiative. Initially covering the existing science wing and a three-storey new build (due for completion this summer), the new network will serve as a test bed for wider adoption across the entire campus in the years to come.

"The primary reason for awarding the contract came down to technical specialisation and detailed understanding of our school's needs. Solution's flexible approach to pricing and track record in successfully providing Meru WLAN systems to other institutions across the South, provided further confidence in their abilities."

Craig Judd, IT Manager.

On a personal level, I'm really looking forward to engaging with Craig and his team as we deploy the system over the summer term. Strategically, Parkstone is in an ideal location for us to support from our local Bournemouth store and we look forward to building on this initial success with other schools in the area.
