Building a Reliable, High-Performance Network for a Growing Congregation

Located in Illinois, Vale Church relies on its network to support ministry operations, communications, and media production for 28 staff members throughout the week. On weekends, the campus transforms into a high-density environment with more than 1,000 connected devices supporting worship services, livestreaming, security systems, and guest connectivity. From production systems and LED walls to security cameras and access control systems, Vale Church depends heavily on its network infrastructure to support ministry operations and deliver a seamless experience for staff, volunteers, and visitors. To support its continued growth, the church deployed a modern, cloud-managed networking infrastructure powered by Zyxel Networks. Zyxel Networks' cloud-managed switching, WiFi, and firewall solutions deliver seamless connectivity across a multi-building campus serving thousands of weekly attendees.
