Local Authorities

As you move to fulfil your key leadership role in the community it is pivotal that you bring together the world of learning, home and wider community to realise the change and improvements in learning. Working with local partners you must ensure that you enhance the futures of pupils and young adults through various ground breaking strategies. The ICT aspect of this can take many shapes and forms especially if they can be made to enable personalised learning, parental involvement, centralised management and cost efficiencies in a single step. Our solutions for local authorities can help you deliver complex infrastructures to enable all of the above using centrally managed wireless solutions, linking schools and communities for home and community internet access, in conjunction with computers for pupils (CfP), interschool collaboration and the implementation of advanced handheld learning strategies.

Managed Services

With our capability to manage all our solutions pro-actively NexGen are able to empower local authorities to remotely manage wireless solutions for all schools and homes within their boundaries. Once built the wireless networks can either be supported by us or by you through centrally located server hosting your content and management systems. VLE’s, connectivity, end user support and web access are unified under a single infrastructure and management layer.

The key features of the service revolve around the ability of the local authority to service and manage the learning community through a single infrastructure, whether at home, school or in the learning centres.

Connectivity Solutions

Our connectivity solutions will further empower local authorities to gain independence from wider IT departments within local government, realise extensive cost saving on LES 2 or 10 infrastructure to campuses and also allow this same bandwidth to be used to service local communities with wireless internet access from home and other locations.

So whether you’re exploring the possibility of linking various sites to share bandwidth, create learning clusters, or simply create wireless WAN networks our connectivity solutions can take away the technical complexities of design and empower you to work independently from local government and multiple costly LES 2 & 10 contracts with ISP and telecoms companies.

BSF

With one of the clearest perspectives on BSF, NexGen is ideally suited to working in partnership with LEP’s and local authorities (LA’s) to collectively find best value for education. Our position is clear; we do not see that legacy ICT service providers have any clear vision for BSF. Most of the bids have simply failed to differentiate themselves from one another on a value basis, with most focusing on price.

Our position is clear; we see BSF as an integration of several drivers which must include emerging technologies, objectives to be met, local empowerment and social inclusion, whilst supporting the evolution of teaching and learning to account for personalised learning.

NexGen whole heartedly believe that only through the evolution of teaching and learning to a more organic system (learning as taking place everywhere), and supported by advanced ambient and pervasive technologies can the above objectives be met and future created.

NexGen is working with a number of local authorities (LA’s) to help understand and sharpen the focus on the integration of a complex set of driver with a focus on the place of next generation wireless technologies in helping to realise these objectives.

If you would like to discuss your BSF or PFI projects please call us. NexGen was on the BSF trail at BETT 2008 as a company with a common and shared vision for BSF.

Community Access

In conjunction with NexGen’s connectivity services we are able to support you in providing community wide wireless web access for staff and pupils adjacent to and between the schools within the LA, in doing so you will be able to address the requirement to deliver computers for pupils and various laptop schemes in conjunction with the government directives on the digital divide.

Of the few options that you have community wireless access from NexGen will deliver the greatest degree of control, best value for money and greatest flexibility in terms of integration into existing services and management systems.

If you would like to discuss your community access projects please call us. NexGen are currently involved in empowering a number of local authorities (LA’s) to build empowering independent education infrastructure to remove the digital divide.
