Implementing an AI-driven school networking solution
King’s College International School Bangkok is using an AI-driven network to enhance teaching and learning experiences.
The school selected Juniper Network’s wired, wireless and security solutions to power its campus networking.
This has proved key to improving teaching and learning, particularly as enrolment continues to grow.
As the first King’s College School Wimbledon International School in South East Asia, King’s Bangkok’s mission is to become one of Asia’s leading educational institutions. With almost 1000 students on campus and growing, King’s Bangkok aims to develop independent enquirers by offering individualised care and a variety of experiences designed to help students excel.
To deliver on its commitment to providing high-quality, innovative and secure learning for its teachers and students, the school partnered with Juniper to build a robust AI-driven campus network to enable rich and reliable digital learning experiences.
In line with its goal of creating a wireless-first network campus, King’s Bangkok has deployed Juniper wireless access points along with the Juniper Mist Wireless Assurance service, providing staff, students and guests with access to high-speed and reliable connectivity.
Juniper’s EX3400 and EX2300 Ethernet switches, as well as the Juniper Mist Wired Assurance service, underpin this connectivity by bringing insight into user and device experiences, while simplifying the management and operation of the wired network. This helps the school meet the demands for increasing numbers of connected devices and network bandwidth demands as more students access digital learning tools across the campus.
To better support the school’s lean IT team, the Juniper Mist cloud services will streamline the deployment and management of King’s Bangkok campus fabric, while Mist AI simplifies operations and improves visibility into the performance of connected devices. This is significant to King’s Bangkok, which could have thousands of devices connected at any one time — including mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
The campus is also required to comply with GDPR and PDPA laws from the United Kingdom and Thailand respectively, making data protection the utmost priority. King’s Bangkok places a huge emphasis on safeguarding its students from malicious websites and content. The deployment of Juniper’s SRX1500 services gateway will serve as the campus’s perimeter firewall, supporting next-generation firewall capabilities.
“Our school aims to be forward thinking and Juniper, with its cloud and AI-driven solutions, offers our IT team more flexibility and ensures always-on wireless connectivity throughout the campus. As we anticipate the school’s enrolment to grow over the next few years, we are confident that Juniper has helped us build a scalable network that will only continue to create superior digital learning experiences for Thailand’s brightest minds,” said Dion Norman, Director of Information Communication Technology, King’s College International School Bangkok.
