WHY DISTRICTS START HERE

Most school networks are a patchwork of old controllers, new APs, and not enough eyes to watch them all. 954 pairs Cisco Catalyst, Meraki, and SD-WAN with a plan you can actually maintain.

WHAT'S INSIDE THE CHECKLIST

  • Wi-Fi 6/6E: Is every wing ready for dense testing days?
  • Switching & Visibility: Can you see every port and client in one place?
  • Segmentation: Are students, staff, and devices properly isolated?
  • WAN & Secure Access: What happens when a circuit drops mid-class?
  • Operational Health: Is your team managing or just reacting?

WHAT MIGHT BE RUNNING THROUGH YOUR HEAD

When you start thinking about a network refresh, it’s rarely just about new gear; it’s about keeping classrooms online and your team above water.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.


"We can't switch tools this year."

"We're not ready for full cloud management."

"We're not ready for full cloud management."

That's fine. You can keep your Catalyst hardware and simply turn on Cloud Monitoring to see everything in the Meraki dashboard — no rip-and-replace, no downtime.

"We're not ready for full cloud management."

"We're not ready for full cloud management."

"We're not ready for full cloud management."

You don't have to be. Cisco lets you mix on-prem and cloud at your own pace, one site or summer at a time.

"Security is a separate project."

"We're not ready for full cloud management."

"Security is a separate project."

It used to be. Now, Cisco's networking and security tools talk to each other — less manual work, tighter policies, and fewer headaches later.

THE 954 PROMISE

 We build for uptime, not quotas.

Our job is to keep your network healthy — not to hit a manufacturer number.

Our engineers come from the same world you live in: limited staff, aging hardware, big expectations.

We pick the right Cisco tools for your environment and stay accountable long after install.

Enterprise-grade Cisco tech. District-ready support.

YOUR NETWORK'S ALREADY CLOSER TO STABLE THAN YOU THINK

You've got the hardware, the know-how, and the people. Now it's about visibility and a roadmap that works inside the school calendar. A Cisco Network Assessment helps you see what's ready, what's fragile, and what to fix first, without disrupting instruction.

YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

A short list of fixes that actually matter.

 A plan that fits your budget and staff capacity.

 Confidence that your next testing day will be quiet — for all the right reasons.
