Education & Campus IT Infrastructure

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR
LEARNING THAT LASTS.

Campus Wi-Fi, structured cabling, CCTV security, cloud platforms, and power protection — engineered for Uganda's schools, universities, and vocational institutions.

Built for Educational Scale

Benchmarks that matter for school administrators and ICT coordinators.

Surveyed
Device Density

Access point count is set by a survey of your real device load.

30-day
CCTV Footage Retention

RAID-protected NVR with secure remote access for administration.

In Writing
Your Service Agreement

On-site response times for critical incidents are agreed before handover.

Every Drop
Fluke-Tested

Each drop tested for NEXT, return loss, and attenuation before handover.

Enterprise Campus Wireless

Wi-Fi That Supports Every Learner

Campus wireless is fundamentally different from office Wi-Fi — hundreds of students connecting simultaneously from classrooms, hostels, and outdoor spaces. We design with predictive heatmapping, so every learning space is covered before a single AP is installed.

  • Predictive heatmap survey before deployment — no dead zones
  • Student and staff VLANs — separate bandwidth pools
  • Captive portal with student ID, voucher, or Google SSO
  • Bandwidth limits per student device to ensure fairness
  • 802.11r fast-roaming across buildings

School Management Platform

Orca: Smart School Logistics

Orca is Backspace's proprietary school transport and attendance management platform — purpose-built for Uganda's schools. Parents see exactly where their child is. Administrators manage pickups digitally. Staff communication stays on one secure channel.

  • Live pickup queue — verified child handoffs via PIN, QR, or NFC
  • Real-time bus tracking for parents on mobile app
  • Parent notifications via app, WhatsApp, or SMS
  • Attendance and arrival reporting for administration
  • Integrates with Google Workspace for Education

Clarity & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Campus-Specific Design

Educational environments have unique wireless challenges: high client density, low ceiling heights in classrooms, and outdoor coverage requirements. Standard office AP placement rules do not apply.

Don't Skip Power Protection

Computer labs represent a significant capital investment. A single unprotected power surge from Uganda's grid can destroy an entire lab's machines simultaneously. UPS and surge protection are non-optional.

Our Approach

We Don't Just Supply Equipment

The equipment list comes last. We assess coverage, density, load and your existing network first — then specify what the environment actually needs. From there we deploy, test and support it.

Assess

We audit your current environment, risks, and requirements.

Design

We engineer a solution architecture tailored to your needs.

Supply

We source and deliver the right hardware and software.

Install

Our engineers deploy the system with minimal disruption.

Configure

We optimize settings, policies, and integrations.

Integrate

We connect everything to work as one unified system.

Test

Every link, camera, and failover is proven before handover. You get the results.

Support

Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and local helpdesk.
