NS Optimum Review

Bugle School - Cornwall - Headteacher Tim Wherry

Having searched around for the best price Clevertouch interactive LED screens, Bugle School chose NS Optimum as the supplier and installer for their new classroom interactive LED screens. 

NS Optimum advised the school on various options that were available for such a project, then provided very competitive pricing for an all round fully installed solution. Once the final solution was decided upon for the classrooms,Bugle School searched for the best pricing and for IT / AV suppliers that came highly recommended from other local Cornwall schools. NS Optimum were awarded the contract following a review of the quotations and the new screens were installed a week later.

The school commented:

"Excellent products and excellent service. Our favourite IT company to use. Would highly recommend."

NS Optimum Reviews & Customer Experiences

NS Optimum - ICT solutions provider to schools

Spratton Hall School – Northamptonshire

NS Optimum started working with Spratton Hall in 2010 when we upgraded the SMARTboard AV systems across the school. The following year saw us upgrade the server hardware and the school took the decision to take on an NS Optimum support engineer for 1 day per week to complement their existing in-house support team. The partnership has continued to develop, along with the IT provision which the school offers to its students, and this has seen the installation of many Smartboard interactive flat panels, continuous development of the core servers & switching and a high density school-wide wireless system capable of servicing the school’s vision for a 1:1 device-per-pupil tablet rollout program.

With a robust Server 2012 Hyper-V virtual network in place we set about upgrading the schools wireless network with a robust Meru school-wide system capable of running 100's of wireless devices across the school. Once this was in place the school started its Windows 8 tablet rollout with the successful deployment of over 50 x Toshiba Z10T Core i5 Windows tables to all its staff. In year 2 of the project we rolled out nearly 100 x Toshiba Encore Windows tablets and year 3 saw NS Optimum roll out another batch of MyMaga 2-in-1 Windows devices (formerly known as the Intel Classmate) to continue the schools vision of reaching 1:1 a device-per-pupil ratio by 2017.

NS Optimum Customer Review

" NS Optimum took the time to understand what we wanted from our IT, and have worked with us throughout our 1:1 journey.  Their advice has delivered on a very cost effective infrastructure that is performing beyond
our expectations... we couldn’t have done this without them. "

To keep up with the ever changing demands on a schools wireless network, NS Optimum have partnered with many manufacturers (such as Meru, Ruckus, Netgear, HP and Cisco) over the years ensuring that we can always offer wireless solutions that are relevant to each and every customer, their specific requirements for the system and there different physical surroundings, from steel framed modern buildings to old historic buildings with extremely thick stone walls. Each scenario posing its own set of problems to overcome.  

For the last two years Ruckus wireless for schools has risen to the top of the pile for most scenarios. It's investment into technologies such as Beamflex and ChannelFly offer faster bandwidth to each user and reliable connections that work every time, even in the most demanding of environments.
