A new wireless technology platform created by Irish technology company Datapac is to support high-tech learning in Irish schools, integrating secure digital technology into the classroom and creates an immersive learning experience.
The new platform is designed to deliver reliable wifi coverage to all areas of schools, and includes built-in security controls that will block unsuitable applications and websites.
The company brings in technical experts to design and implement a bespoke wireless infrastructure plan that takes into account each school’s unique layout.
The technology is also futureproofed, and allows the school to bring digital learning to any classroom, giving access to online resources and learning portals.

“It is very important for schools to assess their connectivity needs from an education delivery perspective and compare this against what is available with their current infrastructure. The world is becoming more and more digitised and children and young people need to have access to the tools and skills to succeed. Having an effective wireless technology platform in place enables technology to be woven into all aspects of the learning process,” said Karen O’ Connor, general manager of ICT services and solutions, Datapac.
“It is vital that schools have infrastructure in place which is optimised for the environment. The platform needs to provide the connectivity needed for today and be capable of handling future bandwidth requirements, all the while allowing for nuanced security controls and protocols to keep children safe online.”
