License costs aren't ideal, however its a really good solution overall!

@Setro, in our opinion we would always suggest going for Cambium networks for primaries, due to it being a similar price point and having UK based support on hand should it be needed. For Secondaries, in a small secondary environment Ubiquiti etc is fine, however as mentioned above we would always advise Aruba, or cisco meraki Hope this helps and if you need anything further, feel free to get in touch. Thanks Jack

Yes we can source them, but stock is looking 0 currently! I can ask what the leadtime would be if you could provide a quantity?

We can source all docking stations, but personally the startech ones have proven to be a good hit with the schools I look after. Feel free to drop me a PM if I can help with pricing

Thanks for the feedback, it is appreciated and I will certainly pass that comment on to management etc. so we can better organize how the calls are managed coming into the business. Feel free to call me on my direct dial of 01785 786831, or my email is [email protected].

Hi All,If you would like to ‘reach out’ to the team at Stone, we’re currently working on Connect the Classroom (CtC) roll-outs with schools & academy trusts for both Cisco Meraki & Aruba platforms through the CSS and Everything ICT frameworks. Having won a number of major MAT deployments, we can help with navigating the design / procurement hurdles…so please feel free to get in touch directly!

Hi @enjay, this is something we can help with and we use Freedom Tech as said above If i can help, let me know!

Good Afternoon all, I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying things getting on the road to normality As we unfortunately can't be running any of the face to face events we used to run (although we're looking forward to these coming back!) we are running an Interactive Education Webinar on the 13th of May, from 4pm-5pm. I have posted the Agenda and links below, it would be great to see you all there!

Hi @AliG, we can arrange chargeable collections yes if it is under 25 qualifying items

Hello @howartp, the minimum number of qualifying units for a free collection is 25 of a mix of items. any collections less than that number of items will be subject to a charge, dependent on geographical location from the stafford HQ. i hope this helps

Hi @Bionic, the android app is now live as well as on iOS

Good Morning all, thanks for the replies on this thread. To address the points above: If your collection is over 25 qualifying items (this will be listed in the app) then you can add 3 extras on which we normally wouldn't collect such as Cables etc. on the collection screen within the app it tells you what is and isn't a qualifying product. Reference the pricing you receive, i have a fair market value sheet which i can send over on an email to anyone who may want it. my email is [email protected], should anyone want it! As of this current moment, we have 1200 customers who currently use the app, and to date have collected over 100,000 units!

@JonnyAlpha, have dropped you a PM

Hi @enjay, have dropped you a PM

I'd be interested to see the warranty and exactly how that'd work with what appears to be a limited in house resource. Prices online don't look to dissimilar to ours! As Dave says above, don't know too much about them myself.

Good Afternoon all, I hope you are well and keeping safe, and hopefully enjoying a slightly quieter week with half term! (Although it seems unlikely!) I just thought I would make you aware of the devices we currently have healthy stocks of, for if there is any immediate requirements coming up.

We are getting deliveries every week, so if there isn't something on there or you need a specific device, let me know! Please do not hesitate to drop me a PM, email me at [email protected] or give me a call if you have any questions or need pricing for any of the above. Kind regards Jack

Hey @JATSO, so the license lasts for the lifetime of the device you are using, however the support from googles support team lasts for 3 years from the date the license is assigned to the device. After the 3 years, you do not need to buy another license unless you need the google support side of things. I hope this helps
