The Challenge
Gulf Model School (GMS) in Dubai serves over 4,000 students and 200+ teachers across a large campus with multiple academic blocks and shared facilities. The school required a secure, high-availability network that could handle 4,000+ concurrent devices while enforcing strict content filtering to ensure safe, education-focused browsing.
What We Delivered
NETCUE deployed an EdgeCue EC-5000 captive portal gateway as the core access controller, with firewall, DNS filtering and URL content controls layered for student safety. Active directory and voucher-based captive portal handled 4,200+ users with per-role bandwidth policies, while multi-WAN load balancing ensured zero disruption during online exams and digital learning sessions.
The Outcome
Gulf Model School Dubai now runs a fully managed, secure campus network — 4,200+ students and teachers browse safely behind firewall, DNS/URL filtering and captive portal authentication, with centralized control and annual support.
