Case Study
St. Joseph’s Academy
This case study describes how St. Joseph’s Academy, a private all-girls high school in St. Louis founded in 1840, significantly upgraded its network to support modern digital learning. Serving 550 students and 87 faculty, the school operates a one-to-one laptop program that requires reliable, high-capacity connectivity for collaboration and instruction. Rapid growth in bandwidth demand, driven by increased digital tools and VPN access for students and teachers, led to a sixfold increase in network requirements. By implementing Ecessa PowerLink, the academy expanded and optimized its broadband and fiber connections, achieving a 600 percent increase in bandwidth and ensuring stable, efficient connectivity to support 21st-century education.
