ASUS AiMesh Networking Solution Elevates School Network Coverage to the Next Level

The challenge

SMJK Yok Bin is a high school established in 1947. It’s located on Jalan Air Leleh, about 3 km from Melaka Town, Malaysia. Before the pandemic, WiFi was only available in the main office of the school. But during the pandemic, all classes went online. This made network access vital for teachers ― because they needed to have stable connections for smooth online teaching.

The solution

To source for a networking solution, SMJK Yok Bin administrators then approached ASUS. After studying the floor plan with ASUS technical expert, the school decided to go for ASUS AiMesh network in order to provide strong WiFi signals throughout the school. Strategic locations were selected for ASUS routers to provide the best WiFi coverage across classrooms, from the ground floor to third floor.

Utilizing the power and simplicity of the ASUS AiMesh Solution, all SMJK Yok Bin’s classrooms now have stable and robust internet access. The ASUS routers provide extreme capacity and impressive network efficiency, allowing teachers to run online classes concurrently without any lag or delays. The ASUS AiMesh solution also allows teachers to roam around the school with a single SSID, which lead to a more stable connection since signals aren’t constantly switching between networks.

The outcome

Overall, ASUS AiMesh has helped SMJK Yok Bin improve online connectivity throughout the school, creating a better teaching environment and supporting current teaching trends ― including remote learning.

This new robust ASUS networking solution also enabled SMJK Yok Bin to host a Minecraft e-Sports Live Event titled Sustainable Future City at UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The event took place on September 18, 2022, with participation of 30 e-sports teams from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Philippines.

The success of the new ASUS networking solution was summarized by Mr. Goh Tai Peng, Headmaster of SMJK Yok Bin: “ASUS AiMesh helped us improve internet connectivity to create a better teaching environment. It also enables the students to enjoy fun extracurricular live e-sports streaming events.”
