Education Technology Design
Every student and teacher now carries at least one device, so classroom wireless has to handle full-room density, not just coverage. School safety depends on access control, cameras and visitor entry that work together. And construction windows are short, often limited to summer break, so designs need to be complete and coordinated before crews arrive.

FAQs
Can your designs fit a summer construction window?
Yes. We coordinate cabling, wireless and security with the full design team early so installation can be phased around the school calendar.
How do you design wireless for one-to-one device programs?
We plan access points by classroom capacity, not just square footage, so every student device stays connected during peak use.
Do you design school security?
Yes. We design access control, cameras and intrusion detection, as we did for Talley Street Elementary, Decatur’s first new school in over thirty years.
Do you sell or install equipment?
No. NTI is vendor-neutral and doesn’t sell or install equipment. If you’d like one team from design through installation, our parent company, ASD, can handle the bid and build phases.
