Port Huron Area School District Selects Juniper Networks to Modernize Network Infrastructure with AI-Native Networking Solutions

By: via Business Wire

The district’s new wired and wireless network enhances digital learning environment for students and staff, helps drive academic success

Juniper Networks®, (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-Native Networking, has announced that Port Huron Area School District (PHASD), serving approximately 7,500 students across 16 public schools in Michigan, has selected Juniper Networks’ AI-native wired and wireless solutions to undertake a mission-critical modernization of its network infrastructure. By leveraging the unique AI-native and cloud-native capabilities of Juniper’s solution, PHASD has employed a state-of-the-art access network that has the agility and reliability needed to meet the ever-changing requirements for digital learning while minimizing ongoing operator costs that save the school district time and money.

PHASD required a comprehensive network overhaul to replace the district’s outdated wired and wireless network. They chose Juniper, the leader in wired and wireless access, for the unique automation and insight capabilities provided by Mist AI, which enables the school district’s IT department to find and fix problems quicker and more reliably, lowering OPEX and enabling the best student, teacher and staff experiences. Products deployed include Juniper’s EX Series Ethernet Switches, Juniper Access Points, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, Juniper Mist Wireless Assurance, and the Marvis™ Virtual Network Assistant (VNA).

Since implementing Juniper’s AI-native networking platform, the district has substantially improved wireless stability and classroom performance while streamlining administrative operations. These improvements align with the district’s educational mission to build future-ready digital infrastructure. Additionally, troubleshooting time has been reduced by 80 percent, allowing the IT department to focus on strategic initiatives such as optimizing the data center and ensuring student and teacher devices are network-ready, particularly in preparation for standardized testing days to drive academic success.
