Despite being equipped with iPads, teachers and students alike were not making use of
them. The reason for this was because of the slow network access speeds. Apps would
not download and course contents were inaccessible. Often, having more than a couple
students connected to the same Wi-Fi access point was enough to bring it to its knees.
Colégio Next needed a unique solution, so they contacted Peplink.
