From education to employment

Millions of students empowered in the digital age of learning with Zyxel networking solutions

More than 64,000 Zyxel devices have been deployed in over 7,100 schools worldwide during the past few years, granting students reliable and easy access to digital learning

Over the past few years, Zyxel Networks, the leader in delivering secure and cloud-powered networking solutions, has helped millions of students to take advantage of digital learning. From K12 and high schools, to top-tier universities and specialized medical and aeronautical schools, Zyxel’s networking solutions allow teachers to deliver lessons using innovative technology, to aid student development, engagement, and success.

Digital learning continues to transform the way lessons and lectures are delivered. Spurred on by huge growth in the EdTech industry following the pandemic, the increased use of laptops, notebooks, smartboards, and online learning platforms has brought not only new opportunities but challenges to the education sector – with more connected devices putting increased pressure on school networks.

An effortless, scalable solution

Though most teachers, students, and parents are very familiar with using connected devices, the knowledge of how to design and run a high-performance network is less widespread. Even math, physics, and computer science teachers may feel overwhelmed by the concept of creating and maintaining an IT network suitable for 1,000 users.

Trusted by students and faculty worldwide, Zyxel’s powerful, effortless, and scalable solutions, such as Nebula, allow schools and EdTech partners to connect their devices without hassle. Backed by the industry’s most comprehensive cloud-managed product portfolio, Zyxel’s Nebula solution offers over 80 types of network devices including WiFi 6/6E APs, multigigabit L3/L2/desktop switches, security gateways, and 5G mobile routers.

These devices can be launched in minutes, allowing schools to connect without fuss, and can be centrally managed from one platform. Additionally, should any issues arise, Zyxel’s award-winning customer support is available to schools and partners whenever they need it.

Zyxel is continuing to achieve success in bringing schools online across the globe, having recently been awarded a Network Computing Award 2022 in the UK. Additionally, in Taiwan, 15% of K12 students are now learning through networks powered by Zyxel. Even for top-tier universities like National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, more than 1,000 units of WiFi 6 APs were recently deployed in a single campus, connecting thousands of elite students to pursue academic excellence through networks built by Zyxel.

“It is great to see our networking solutions being used to develop better learning models and innovative new ways of delivering education,” says Mr. Crowley Wu, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Zyxel Networks. “We’ve seen the education business increase by double figures in some countries over the past few quarters, largely thanks to our channel partners with their education sector efforts and our specialized networking solutions that convince thousands of schools to transform education with us. We’re delighted to reach the current milestone and are excited to continue this push in the months to come.”

Top 10 independent school’s £150k sports facility completed ahead of summer

A LEADING independent school completed work on a new £150,000 multi-use sports facility. Already generating interest among prospective learners and the local community, thestate-of-the-art pitches at St Gerard’s School in Bangor have been completed ahead of the summer. The site includes a ‘next generation’ artificial grass surface which can be used for five-a-side football, netball, hockey, tennis, basketball and more. An access road, parking, running track and landscaping neighbour the development and there are plans to construct a toilet block and changing rooms in the coming months, in addition to floodlighting. The school – ranked eighth in the country in the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide – has invested heavily in its infrastructure over the last 18 months. Headteacher Campbell Harrison says they plan to do even more to attract pupils and support current learners and their families. “This is not just a MUGA (multi-use games area), it is a commitment to our pupils and the community,” he said. “We have a rich academic history but are also renowned for punching above our weight when it comes to sporting activity and achievement, producing many champions and elite young athletes over the years. “Most importantly, we promote health, wellbeing and exercise, combined with fun! That’s one of the main reasons behind this new facility, which I’m sure will prove very popular with learners but also people in north west Wales keen to participate in sports like five-a-side, netball and basketball in the evenings and on weekends.” Business Manager Steve Griffiths added: “The facility is a fantastic addition to the site and further improves our physical education (PE) provision. “We have also introduced a garden and landscaping around the area to complement the ‘wellness walk’ we launched last year, and the overall redevelopment of the seven-acre site.  “We have future plans but as always our key mission is to ensure the pupils receive the best education in a warm, welcoming setting – which they do.” Having achieved a 16% rise in learners in 2024 – and with further growth expected in Years 12 and Year 7 – St Gerard’s is well placed to sustain its position as an industry leader in the face of “huge challenges” facing the private education sector. The school has reinforced its long-term vision by investing not only in the sports and outdoor facilities but in revamping the Sixth Form suite, the library, and visitor car park in addition to roof repairs, a rebrand of the logo and website, and a £150,000 heating system. The school will be holding an open event on Saturday June 7 from 10am-1pm.
