Core networking equipment includes routers, switches, and servers, often in a wall or floor cabinet. These devices are monitored by ourselves, Rydal and Schools Broadband and turning off the power results in false alarms. This could potentially result in you incurring a charge for an engineer visit. ict@norfolk.gov.uk 13/10/2026 12:21:01 GMT AnyComms Plus unavailability - October 28th, 14:00 - 17:00 hours https://icteducation.norfolk.gov.uk/news.aspx?news_id=2240 AVCO will be carrying out maintenance to the AnyComms Plus platform during the October half-term holiday period.
