For three decades, RM Technology has been more than just a name in education technology. We are the invisible thread connecting classrooms, libraries, and staff rooms, providing reliable internet connection that underpins the very fabric of modern learning. As we celebrate 30 years as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), we want to share how this unique legacy translates into tangible learning benefits for your school or trust, driving educational outcomes and digital transformation.
Beyond bandwidth: a deep understanding of education’s needs
"Unlike generic ISPs, RM’s journey began and remains firmly rooted in education. This means we understand the specific challenges and opportunities schools face when it comes to technology. We’re not just selling bandwidth; we’re providing a tailored service designed to support."
Matt Bearpark, Head of Product Group at RM Technology
Where this can have the most impact:
Seamless learning experiences: our robust and reliable connections ensure uninterrupted access to online resources, digital learning platforms, and collaborative tools. Say goodbye to frustrating buffering and hello to smooth, engaging lessons.
Enhanced safeguarding: we recognise the importance of online safety. Our solutions include advanced filtering and security measures, helping you protect learners and staff from online threats.
Efficient admin: reliable connectivity streamlines admin tasks, from managing learner data to facilitating online communication with parents. This frees up valuable time for educators to focus on what matters the most – teaching.
Future-proofing your school: we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve. Our infrastructure constantly evolves to meet the growing demands of digital learning, ensuring your school is prepared for the future.

The power of a dedicated education ISP
What sets RM Technology apart is our deep understanding of the educational landscape. Our 30 years as an ISP has allowed us to:
Design a network to meet schools’ specific needs rather than just adapt consumer-grade offerings: the RM broadband network has direct connections and peering to major content and system providers for education, including Microsoft, Google and JANET.
Stay at the technological forefront: we recently invested over £1 million to increase core network capacity by 150%. With upgraded network links and hardware, we have better network stability and performance than ever.
Provide expert support: our team understands the unique challenges faced by schools. We offer dedicated support and expertise to help you maximise your internet connection and resolve any issues quickly and efficiently.
Create services to help you comply with relevant standards: the DfE’s digital and technology standards for schools and colleges set out minimum levels for connection type, speed, resilience and safeguarding. RM Technology’s different offerings make it easy to meet or exceed the requirements for your setting.
Develop integrated solutions: we integrate our connectivity services with other RM Technology solutions, such as our learning platforms and device management tools, creating a seamless and cohesive digital ecosystem for your school.
Understand the importance of budget: we work to provide the best value for money, and scalable solutions that grow with your school.
"Since the upgrade has been in place we have not had a single incident relating to connectivity for staff or children."
Paul Stimpson, Assistant Head Teacher and ICT Coordinator, Kirkby Woodhouse Primary School, Kirkby Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire
