Lightspeed Systems goes Premier League

January 20th, 2012

EAC Network Solutions have escalated Lightspeed Systems to one of thier top vendors. In recent months Lightspeed Systems have made significant changes to thier product portfolio, business model and pricing, which has made thier education focused suite of products more affordable to all of EAC Network Solutions education customers.

Lightspeed Systems internet filtering solution has in our view has been way ahead of the competition in the education space for a number of years. We are very excited about the changes the company have made which is means the product is now directly competing on price with other filtering solutions which in our view are not as well focused on the requirements of our education customers.

Having spoken to Roy Harris of Lightspeed Systems at the BETT show it is very clear that there has been a significant increase in customer interest in thier products, especially the New Lightspeed Suite, and My Big Campus.

Beaconsfield High School open up the school network to student devices

March 1st, 2011

Recently EAC Network Solutions and Beaconsfield High School have completed a project to deploy a small Meru wireless network, and implement Bradford Campus Manager. Together the two products have allowed Beaconsfield High School open up the schools network for their students to bring in and use their own laptops at school.

Bradford Campus Manager enforces a compliancy policy on the student’s devices, to ensure they meet windows service pack & patch levels, whilst also ensuring a suitable anti-virus product is both installed and up to date.

Once a device has passed compliance it is passed into a production VLAN, where in the case of Beaconsfield High School, they get filtered access to the internet only.

The Meru wireless network is being used by both the students and also academically with a trolley of laptops in the maths department.

The project was an instant success, with a number of students bringing in, and being able to use their laptops in school after running through a simple web-based registration process.

As for all academic establishments there are many positives that can be seen from the success of this project; The solution now paves the way for the school making less annual investment in maintaining physical PC numbers, and a slow migration towards more centralised web and virtual desktop based services which can be securely accessed from any machine regardless of owner.
