Abstract
This article describes a global solution that covers the ICT infrastructure necessities of the educational community. The focus has started from the principle that the school has autonomy in the development of its educational project. And, at the same time, there are networks of people and schools that belong to a corporation system. The global solution consists of a basic technological architecture composed of three evolutionary projects (the Individualized Networks of the Schools, the Integrated Broadband Network and the Management System). The strategic bases for the design have been that the basic necessities of the educational community and the deployment of ICT infrastructure should be synchronized with the objectives for transforming the educational system. This study has been framed inside MEDUSA project. This project is an initiative of the Government of the Canary Islands (Spain) to extend the ICT use in the educational system.
