The success at Parkside Elementary serves as a blueprint for future projects across various verticals, including higher education, healthcare, hospitality, and industrial automation. This case study presentation showcases the potential of private network applications, such as AI-driven learning tools and digital transformation projects, which are just beginning to be explored.
