Wi-Fi from BT
However much you invest in computing devices, the 1:1 experience for teachers and students can only be as good as your underlying network performance.
A slow internet connection, or patchy Wi-Fi coverage across your school, college or university campus can interrupt learning and cause frustration for both teachers and students. Choosing BT for your 1:1 programme means you’re choosing a partner who’ll help you get everything right – not just your choice of devices.
We’ll help you make sure your network is secure and 1:1 ready.
The right internet connection
Using online apps, cloud-based storage, immersive multi-media and online collaboration tools means your school, college or university needs an internet connection that won’t let you down. For the best 1:1 experience, your teachers and learners need always-on internet that’s secure and lightning fast.

BTnet's high speed, dedicated internet access keeps pace with the demands of their 900 students and 100 staff.
With information technology used creatively in all subjects, a reliable network was essential to support lessons across the curriculum. They also needed a content filtering system to ensure students were kept safe whilst online.
“Now we have a future proof solution. We’ve got peace of mind knowing our students are safe”

The right Wi-Fi coverage
Going 1:1 opens a whole host of learning options and locations. Teachers can break free from the traditional classroom format, whilst learners can consume content and work anywhere across campus. Be that in the classroom, in the library, in the sports hall or in the playground.
But this can only happen if your Wi-Fi network is up to scratch. And that mean access from everywhere, via a consistently strong connection with no dead-spots.
You need Wi-Fi that everyone can rely on, regardless of how many devices are connected. And it needs to be secure too, with options for separate guest access.
At BT, we offer a range of Wi-Fi solutions from world class vendors like Cisco, Cisco Meraki, HP Aruba and more. We can help with assessing, planning and installing a new Wi-Fi network, as well as improvements to your existing set up. With options for both indoor and outdoor coverage, we’ll carefully plan the location of access points to optimise reach and ensure best performance.

In June 2020, BT joined forces with the UK government’s Department for Education (DfE) to help the most in-need children in England with online learning.
Through this scheme, BT is providing in-need families with six months of free access to the UK’s largest Wi-Fi network, which extends to 5.5 million Wi-Fi hotspots around the country. Access is being provided via a BT Wi-Fi voucher-code system and will allow children to access the web on up to three devices at a time, for six months.
Local Authorities and Academy Trusts are invited to request vouchers, working with their schools to identify those children who are most in need.
