Is your university Wi-Fi ready for Freshers’ Week?

Thousands of new devices. Packed lecture theatres. Full halls of residence. Rising expectations for always-on connectivity.

Meet Block at Jisc Networkshop 2026 for a free Wi-Fi readiness assessment

Stand 22 | Nottingham Trent University | 23–24 June 2026

Freshers’ Week is one of the biggest stress tests your network will face all year.

Block is offering a free Wi-Fi readiness assessment for universities attending Jisc Networkshop 2026. The assessment helps higher education IT teams identify coverage gaps, capacity risks, roaming issues and performance problems before Freshers’ Week, when thousands of new student devices connect to campus networks.

Meet the team

Join us at Stand 22 for practical conversations around:

  • Wi-Fi resilience
  • operational readiness
  • network visibility
  • and preparing campus infrastructure for peak demand
Built around real higher education environments

We work with universities to improve Wi-Fi resilience, operational visibility and network performance across complex campus estates.

We understand the realities of:

  • ageing infrastructure
  • growing user expectations
  • constrained budgets
  • distributed campuses
  • limited internal resource
  • and restricted delivery timescales

See how we helped Queen Mary University of London transform its digital infrastructure in just 8 weeks.
