PROJECT
CONNECTED SCHOOLS
Education is a key tool for training the talent of tomorrow’s professionals. Something so delicate and important deserves an appropriate and well-structured strategy in which students, teachers and schools matter equally, and in which technology is a vehicle to enhance the teaching and learning experience.
As a result of the collaboration with the educational administrations, it is developing the Connected Schools initiative, which was launched in 2015 to extend and consolidate the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Spanish educational system, in accordance with the objectives of the Digital Culture Plan at School, the Digital Agenda for Spain and the Report of the Commission for the Reform of Public Administrations.
Objectives
The Escuelas Conectadas initiative provides schools with ultrafast broadband Internet access, as well as high-capacity internal wireless networks. It enables students and teachers at schools to make widespread use of ICT and digital content in the teaching-learning process.
The agreement is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Provide educational centers with ultrafast broadband Internet access.
To extend and consolidate the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the Spanish Educational System.
Modernize electrical installations, integrating state-of-the-art technology to promote energy efficiency.
Installation of technological infrastructure in schools.
Solution Implemented
Perforated trays made of high-strength galvanized steel, with the highest level of corrosion resistance, in accordance with the European standard UNE-EN 61537. These trays stand out for their durability in adverse environments and their ability to withstand the mechanical and thermal demands of an installation of this magnitude.
Results
The perforated trays have a series of holes along their structure. This allows:
Improved ventilation: The perforation helps dissipate heat that may be generated by the cabling, reducing the risk of overheating.
Ease of installation: Perforations provide anchor points for attaching cables or securing them with clamps, clips or other accessories.
Weight reduction: Perforation reduces the material and thus the weight of the tray without compromising its strength too much.
Ease of customization: Trays can be cut or tailored to specific measurements to precisely fit a particular installation. Accessories such as covers, gaskets or partitions can also be added as required by the cables.
Project benefits
Durability: Due to their material and design, perforated trays generally have a long service life.
Aesthetics and organization: Although the main function is to support cables, its perforated design also contributes to a tidy, visually more organized and safer installation. Maintenance and cable checks are easier, as the open design allows quick access.
Inequality of access: The digital divide is reduced, allowing more students, especially in rural areas, to have access to quality education.
CONCLUSION
Perforated cable trays are an efficient and flexible solution for cable management, offering advantages such as ventilation, ease of installation, strength, durability, and adaptability to different configurations. In addition, its perforated design improves air circulation and allows for easier cable management, contributing to safety and efficiency in public installations.
The installation of Connected Schools involves not only the provision of technological infrastructure, but also the continuous training of teachers and access to relevant educational content. It is a comprehensive initiative that seeks to transform the educational model through the use of technology.
