Solutions for Education
Communications are the core of education. Whether in a rural middle school or an urban university, instructors and learners must communicate with each other, with the school community, and with the world they study. When students use online resources, learning outcomes can improve. When faculty access tools, data, and their colleagues, teaching and research improve. And when administrators deploy school management applications and databases, efficiencies are better.

To succeed today, educational institutions at all levels require networked communications. By investing in market-leading systems, schools can enhance teaching and learning while containing costs. 3Com is a leading provider of communications solutions for education worldwide, enabling schools to achieve academic excellence effectively and economically.

Growth and Flexibility

K-12 schools are dynamic environments. Student and faculty populations fluctuate, learning and social activities occur throughout school grounds, and buildings are added or renovated. Moreover, powerful new educational resources and applications continue to emerge, and students and teachers are increasingly relying on new technologies like laptops computers and handheld devices.

As a result, schools require communications solutions with unsurpassed versatility and scalability. As their needs evolve, schools must have networks that can expand or adapt easily and affordably. Their solutions should be standards-based to eliminate obsolescence and to ensure compatibility with legacy and future technologies. They should be reliable, avoiding maintenance costs and hassles. Moreover, for community safety and peace of mind, schools must be able to restore communications rapidly should disaster strike.
