When your
core is strong, everything follows
Digital transformation enables higher performance all round, opening the door to potential everywhere. For the public sector especially, investing in a robust and reliable core infrastructure unlocks benefits throughout the operation.
There has never been a more exciting time
to be working in networking
As technology continues to empower a new era of possibilities, demand for connected devices will grow in tandem. These include wearable technologies, IoT and sensors – the rapid growth of which smart devices, combined with new edge computing, will create ever more data and exponentially more connections.
The team at Block are highly motivated to help our clients take full advantage of these potent innovations to support better business outcomes, with Juniper a significant addition to the portfolio of options.
Putting smart AI at the heart of things brings to life a level of real-world operational upgrades that once belonged to the realm of fantasy. Juniper brings us closer to making this real.

Juniper’s Mist AI™ was built from the ground up to provide the optimal way of deploying, operating and monitoring campus networks. The great leap forward is to bring the physical and wireless network under the same dashboard, putting more data in reach of IT teams. Coupled with a robust hardware portfolio, the power of Mist AI™ is to streamline network operations and improve user experiences automatically – enabling IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
Smart Buildings: A Key Tool for Public Sector Decarbonisation
Decarbonisation is a public sector priority, with an overwhelming 98% of public sector organisations working to support the governments net zero targets, and we believe smart buildings have a significant role to play.
Block recently partnered with Juniper Networks and Surveys in Public Sector for an in-depth public sector study, focusing on attitudes to net zero initiatives, approaches to decarbonisation and awareness of smart building technology.
The Role of Smart Buildings in the Public Sector’s Net Zero Goals
Where decarbonisation is concerned, public sector organisations are now expected to lead the way – embedding sustainable practices, encouraging socially and environmentally responsible supply chains, and decarbonising facilities and estates, many of which are ageing and potentially inefficient.
In this report we set out to establish whether the adoption of smart infrastructure is on the public sector agenda, the most commonplace challenges from an implementation perspective, and the role IT teams are playing in the transition to efficient buildings and, ultimately, a carbon-neutral public sector.
