Historic buildings and sites play a big role in our everyday lives and many schools are found housed in magnificent listed buildings or period properties. In fact, in England alone, there are over 5000 listed school buildings.

That’s 5000 buildings that need to move with the times and ensure that the pupils studying within them have access to the latest technologies- And providing access to that technology has to be donw without adding major disruption to the building or the pupils using it.

Modern day schools are advancing quickly. Gone are the days of blackboards and chalk. Classrooms work from interactive whiteboards. These boards can link up to the internet and annotations can be made directly to these pages using special interactive pens.

The major challenge in delivering this concept is providing the connectivity required into all areas of the school buildings.

If these classrooms are housed within listed or heritage properties it becomes impossible to deliver due to the disruption and the damage incurred in providing cabling into these historic sites. The thickness of the walls in these types of properties will also reduce the effectiveness of Wi-Fi and can add huge costs to any project.

By using a unique technology called Power Line Communication (PLC), Freedom Digital Networks (FDN) have created the perfect way to network any building by simply injecting a digital signal into the electrical wiring the building already has – we bypass the need for any new cabling.

Most importantly, we bypass the need for any major work to walls or flooring, and so helping to remove planning consent delays from any project. Our networks are designed to overcome the typical problems encountered on a listed site.

Because we inject the digital signal onto the electrical infrastructure of the building or campus, full coverage Wi-Fi can then be supplied throughout the whole building by simply plugging wireless access points into any 3 pin electrical socket, flooding that area with a wireless signal.

The system is extremely cost effective and totally flexible, allowing you to plug and play as desired with services such as Broadband, CCTV, VoIP telephony, room management and control, PA and AV systems, footfall monitoring and many more, all enabled at the same time over one network using our unique technology.

Reduce costs and your carbon footprint and increase your students learning potential while improving safety, security and asset protection.

NO MESS, NO CABLING, NO DOWNTIME. Just a solution to an age old problem.
