installations with more than network 500 nodes.
Each school is deploying a two-tier network infrastructure with a
high-speed backbone network supporting communication between classrooms,
the schools' network servers and the Internet.
Local area networks (LANs) within each classroom are linked to the backbone
network and handle connection of individual PCs and printers.
