Education Case Study

# Full connectivity and predictable performance at Colégio GAIA

We rebuilt the network and deployed intelligent redundancy, transforming the everyday experience of students and teachers.

Campuses **2 integrated campuses**  Students **1,800+ students**  Rollout **Network live in 20 days**

 Managed operation

## The challenge

Colégio GAIA's main campus, in downtown Florianópolis, operated out of an old four-story building with thick walls. The structure blocked Wi-Fi propagation and caused ongoing network instability.

The signal failed to reach several classrooms, and school administrators needed dependable connectivity for hundreds of students at peak hours and for mission-critical academic systems.

## The solution

We applied our managed infrastructure operation to redesign the entire environment with predictability and governance:

- Replaced the routers and the core switch, with centralized management.

- Installed a new rack interconnected by redundant fiber optics.

- Redistributed access points to deliver strong Wi-Fi across 100% of the premises.

- Built firewall policies, link redundancy, and load balancing to sustain performance without compromising security.

- Deployed a controlled, monitored guest hotspot for visitors.

Once the main campus was stable, we replicated the model at a new four-story campus — with network, Wi-Fi, and cameras designed from scratch — delivered in just 20 days.

## Results

Wi-Fi coverage 100% of active areas

Rollout 20 days

Students served 1,800+ across both campuses

Average availability 99.9% uptime

IT costs Reduced, with infrastructure provided by ASSIST

Today, Colégio GAIA grows without heavy IT costs. The infrastructure was planned to absorb new demands with no additional investment — predictability and peace of mind for staff and students alike.
