Founded in 1959, Sparta High School is home to approximately 1100 students, more than 100 faculty members and a multitude of sports and co-curricular activities. In recent years, a residential development and population boom has resulted in a steady increase in school enrollment. The high school already exceeds the state-recommended student capacity by more than 100 students and growth is expected to continue.
In the summer of 2006, Bogen approached the Sparta Township Board of Education about using the high school as a test bed for its new Quantum Multicom IP communications system. The high school was already using Bogen’s Multicom-2000® Administrative Communications System, so this test would improve the school’s communications flexibility and provide future expansion capability without requiring extensive equipment replacement. Bogen upgraded the existing system simply by installing QSPC1 Quantum processor cards in the Multicom equipment rack. A two-node Quantum system was up and running in October of 2006 without disrupting the start of a busy school year.
