Educational establishments that are spread over large or multiple sites can suffer severe network degradation if their Wide Area Network (WAN) is not properly planned and implemented.

This can quickly impact your students as well as your staff and lead to dissatisfaction which may affect your schools reputation.

Virtue offers a range of WAN connectivity solutions that ensure your network maintains optimal performance levels. These include:

  • Diverse route connection options for resilience
  • DSL and bonded DSL to ensure secure and rapid data transfer
  • Leased lines
  • Radio solutions

All our WAN solutions include a fully managed router and security built in.
