WiFi-as-a-Service: customized for Groeipunt Ninove and Maricolen Brugge

‍Unburdening is the key to success at Citymesh.

According to Filip, one of the main strengths of Citymesh is that they handle the monitoring of the WiFi connection, relieving the ICT staff at schools. This allows him to save a significant amount of time, as he no longer needs to actively check if the internet connection is working properly. What’s more, if an issue occurs with an access point, Citymesh is aware of it before he even notices.

Filip also highlights the portal page as a major advantage. “For me, the portal page is a whole experience,” he says. “It works flawlessly on any device, and we’ve never encountered any issues with it.”

The Maricolen in Bruges were quick to adopt Citymesh’s WiFi-as-a-Service. They also observed a growing number of students connecting to the internet at the same time. Principal Mieke Verhelst perfectly captures the digital shift in education: “Connectivity in schools today isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have.”

Joram Laureyns, the ICT coordinator at the school, believes that connectivity should enhance smooth operations in the classroom. This is certainly the case with Citymesh’s services. Joram refers to it as a complete solution: “From start to finish, they support the implementation and consider the school’s needs.” The integration with existing tools, like Smartschool and Microsoft 365, ensures that both students and teachers can log in with ease.
