Cloud-based applications drive bandwidth usage: Applications like Google Suite, Microsoft 365, and video conferencing (Zoom, Teams) are commonly used in educational settings. These rely on cloud servers, requiring significant downloads and uploads.
Shift towards online learning: More schools are utilizing online learning platforms and resources, further increasing their dependence on cloud-based solutions. Streaming, torrents, wearables less impactful: Streaming music and torrent sites can contribute, but their impact is generally less significant. Wearables in education are still niche despite their potential.

Successful Deployment Depends on Buy-In: A final customer meeting signifies the handover phase. Achieving stakeholder agreement ensures everyone impacted by the solution has a voice and feels their concerns are addressed.
Sign-Off and Formal Acceptance: Stakeholders often need to formally "sign-off" on a project's completion, indicating satisfaction and readiness for operational use.

PoE Splitter: A PoE splitter separates power and data from a PoE-enabled Ethernet cable, allowing the powering of non-PoE devices.

* Overlay vs. Integrated Monitoring:
* Overlay: A separate monitoring system independent of the primary wireless infrastructure.
* Integrated: Monitoring functions built into wireless access points or controllers.
* Overlay Advantage: Since the overlay system is separate, it doesn't add overhead or complexity to the core network, avoiding potential disruption of wireless services.

Zigbee supports mesh networking for extended coverage and reliability. It offers low throughput, typically operates at 2.4 GHz, and is not long-range.
