Client Background
Basildon Academies, a large secondary school spanning multiple campuses,
depends on a reliable, high-speed data network to support its extensive educational
technology, administration and security systems. With hundreds of students and
staff relying on seamless connectivity daily, the academies needed a well-organised,
high-performance network infrastructure to maintain operational efficiency and
minimise disruptions.

The Challenge

The Solution
LG Networks devised a tailored solution, beginning with an in-depth audit of the academies’ current cabling and cabinet infrastructure. Aiming to enhance speed and reduce dependence on copper cabling, LG Networks installed new fibre optic links between data cabinets, boosting network performance across all critical areas. The fibre optic links significantly increased data transmission speeds and improved reliability, ensuring the network could meet the demands of modern educational
technology.
In addition to the fibre optic upgrade, LG Networks carried out a comprehensive re-cabling strategy, replacing old cabling where necessary and meticulously tidying each data cabinet. The cabinets were re-organised and clearly labelled, allowing for easy identification of connections, and some cabinets were relocated to more accessible locations for efficient maintenance. The newly organised, neatly bundled cabling and clearly labelled connections provided IT staff with quick access points, making diagnostics and troubleshooting far more efficient.

The Result
The combination of fibre optic links, re-cabling, and organised cabinet management led to immediate improvements in Basildon Academies’ network performance. The new fibre connections between cabinets reduced reliance on slower copper cabling,
allowing for faster, more reliable connectivity across the entire campus. The increased network speed enhanced the performance of educational and administrative systems, supporting a more seamless daily operation.
The organised and well-labelled cabinets reduced the time IT staff spent on diagnostics and repairs, improving fault resolution and minimising interruptions in service. Staff noted that the simplified, accessible setup made ongoing network management significantly easier, while the fibre optic upgrade provided a future-proofed solution that could support the academies’ growth.
Conclusion
LG Networks’ fibre optic integration, re-cabling and cabinet reorganisation solution transformed Basildon Academies’ network infrastructure. With faster connectivity and a well-ordered, easily accessible setup, the school is now equipped to provide consistent, high-performance network services for students and staff alike. This case highlights LG Networks’ commitment to delivering customised, high-quality solutions that enhance operational efficiency and support the evolving needs of educational institutions.
