MsTECH Solutions won the contract to modernize Jamaica's educational network infrastructure. The scope: 1,000 schools across the island, from urban Kingston to rural mountain villages.
The problem wasn't the contract—it was the hardware. Government procurement meant working with multiple vendors. Ruckus for high-density urban schools. TIP OpenWiFi-compatible devices for rural locations where cost mattered more than throughput. Actiontec, Edgecore, Fortinet hardware arriving from different suppliers.
Each vendor meant a different dashboard. Different training. Different support contracts. Managing six separate platforms across 1,000 schools wasn't just inefficient—it was impossible.
MsTECH needed one platform that could manage any hardware they deployed. They found wibipOS.
Phase 1 deployed 364 schools in 90 days. 3,150 access points, all managed from a single wibipOS dashboard. Ruckus hardware in Kingston. Edgecore in Montego Bay. Different vendors, same management experience.
Phase 2 is underway. 700 more schools, with Actiontec and Fortinet devices joining the mix. When a vendor becomes unavailable or pricing changes, MsTECH swaps hardware without retraining staff or rebuilding workflows.
“We chose different vendors for different environments—Ruckus for high-density urban schools, Edgecore for rural locations. wibipOS let us manage them all the same way.”
The result: Jamaica's students get reliable Wi-Fi. MsTECH keeps operational control. And when the next phase requires new hardware, they're ready—without starting over.
