Affiniti learns with Synetrix

Integrator Affiniti will work in conjunction with education applications specialist Synetrix to supply 2,100 schools in the east Midlands with high-speed bandwidth.

The network will allow more than 600,000 pupils across eight local authorities to use Synetrix’s educational systems. Pupils will be able to share schoolwork, as well as have access to chat and email in a secure community. The deal runs for three years with the possibility of a two-year extension.

Roger Hopewell, account director for Affiniti, told CRN: “We have worked with Synetrix before and the relationship is very good. This is a very significant and important piece of business for us.”
