Siemens has secured the contract through Cumbria and Lancashire Education Online (CLEO) which provides a high quality private broadband network for all schools across Cumbria and Lancashire. Typical applications for the network includes use of broadband technology in the classroom, provision of virtual learning environments, video conferencing and online teaching, learning resources and supporting pupils learning at home and teachers in their work.
Deborah Murrell, Project
Manager for CLEO explains: "We were looking for a communication network that offered a secure solution, provided value over time and would be capable of meeting the demands for bandwidth in the classroom well into the future. Having control over dedicated fibre networks, as we will have in this case, is proving a cost competitive way of meeting the growing demands for bandwidth from schools."
