Sherborne Qatar has announced the successful deployment of its latest Smart Education solution that is enhancing greater levels of e-learning for its students and faculty. 
Sherborne Qatar selected Huawei and Saturn to deploy a fully integrated Smart Campus network, allowing both staff and students to enjoy faster connectivity and a streamlined secure access to the school’s network and education tools. 
Sherborne Qatar’s previous network needed increased bandwidth requirements to adopt new modes of e-learning platforms. Following the implementation of Huawei’s Smart Campus Network, the school has been able to accommodate the huge bandwidth required to ensure that interactive learning tools can be effectively utilized in the classroom. With a software-based infrastructure that is more flexible than ever before, the new network also allows for the infrastructure to be easily built and programmed according to the education needs of the faculty.
“Sherborne Qatar holds itself to the high standards of our UK counterpart with a vision to offer the best learning experiences possible for our students. We have seen the role that innovative technology plays in enabling a more dynamic, interactive and fruitful learning environment. We wanted to create an engaging educational environment for our students so that they are able to reach the highest levels of academic success. Huawei’s Smart Campus solution was able to address the issues we were facing. The team helped us to build a scalable infrastructure that allows us the flexibility to easily extend e-learning platforms to more college campuses in the near future,” said Michelle Walker, Sherborne’s School IT Manager. 
Emad Ramadan, Director, Huawei, Enterprise Business, Qatar said:  “In an increasingly digital age, educators are taking steps to deploy an ICT infrastructure based on  campus wide networks that are agile and can easily accommodate new service requests on demand. This has been a prevalent trend in Qatar in light of its Smart City vision to develop into a digital knowledge economy. Being involved in such collaboration is an important part of Huawei’s commitment to enriching the region’s education sector and building a better society through sharing knowledge and ICT expertise.”
