Work on installing LANs in all of Japan’s schools has been ongoing in recent years driven by government-run computerization projects and other similar measures. Meanwhile, regional education boards have begun to take the initiative in building wide-area (inter-school) education networks with aims that include reducing administrative workloads and improving the quality of education through regional collaboration.
Measures such as protection from potential network-based threats and the prevention of leaks of academic records and other personal information play an important role in creating an environment in which ICT in education can be used with confidence. Further requirements include sufficient bandwidth so that multimedia resources can be used in class without difficulty and convenience features such as the ease with which the network can be accessed. Also, as few schools have their own network system administrator, operational support that allows easy and centralized administration by bodies such as education boards is also desirable.
Allied Telesis has extensive experience in providing networks for educational facilities having installed systems at more than 30,000 sites to date. These include universities as well as elementary, junior high, and high schools throughout Japan. We supply network solutions that deliver “secure and dependable networks”, “improved educational outcomes”, and “ease of operation”.

The campus network has become an essential resource for teaching and research at universities. The provision of secure wireless LANs on campus to provide greater convenience for students and staff has been underway for some time and installation of other systems such as those for analyzing experimental data or conducting various types of research is ongoing. Other examples of large systems include those for grid computing in which many computers are linked together. Similarly, high-speed and high-capacity backbones are used for connections between universities. While the provision of network systems that run reliably is a prerequisite, robust security is also essential for networks that are accessed by large numbers of students and staff. There is also a need to reduce the system administration workload associated with the rapid turnover of students.
Allied Telesis provides a one-stop service that extends from preliminary discussions to consulting, design, implementation, maintenance, and operational support. Based on its extensive experience in building campus networks, Allied Telesis is helping create open campus networks that everyone finds easy to use and that support a wide range of devices, operating systems, and other technologies while maintaining a high level of security. |
