ITS has been serving the network, hardware and IT services needs of K-16+ schools in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois since 2007. We provide a range of managed IT services for schools, whether you have onsite IT staff and need minimal support or need a fully-fledged helpdesk.
Physical Security
Our most popular products and services focus on physical security of schools; door access controls and IP surveillance cameras. Our infinias door solution provide a robust toolset and rules administration that allows you to provide the right amount of access to groups and individuals. These door controllers can also pull data from Google Calendars and Outlook Calendars to establish lock/unlock schedules, and can provide mobile credentials through a secure app on authorized cellular phones.
Our video surveillance projects allow administrative staff to view live and archived footage. Access can also be setup for local law enforcement if desired. Many schools integrate video surveillance solutions with door access controls to create secure oversight for staff placed in gate-keeping roles.
Network Improvements
Many of our K-16+ institutions are nearing the end-of-life on wireless and wired networking gear, are approaching maximum client limits on firewalls, and may also be increasing their bandwidth capabilities. ITS can assist with fiber conversion projects, plan your wireless network replacement schedule, and sell and setup firewalls and content filtering to keep staff/students safe and engaged in learning.
ITS is thrilled to bring Meraki Wireless networks into Wisconsin. Infrastructure Technology Solutions (ITS) has been installing Meraki Wireless Networks since 2009, and is one of Meraki’s largest partners and installers in the Midwest.
Meraki brings numerous benefits to Wisconsin’s K12 Schools:
- Cloud-based management to provide oversight from any internet connection for IT staff.
- Multiple networks can be configured to provide varying levels of safe and secure connectivity for guests, students and staff.
- Robust trouble-shooting, radio planning and traffic-shaping tools.
IP Phone Solutions
We are also see K-16+ schools switching to IP phone solutions, to cut costs and provide an enhanced toolset for end users. Our 3CX phone solution scales to fit your specific network deployment, and integrates nicely with other network products. We recently setup a 3CX system to work with Bell Commander software and existing digital clocks, creating a synchronous alert and paging system.
