Bridging the Education Digital Divide with Private Cellular Networks
Education is in the middle of a technological revolution. Students are using more devices than ever before. Remote solutions were critical for meeting the demands of the pandemic; now teachers are leveraging those platforms to enhance the learning environment. Meanwhile, the explosion of data, digital solutions, mobile devices and Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints is transforming IT for both K-12 and higher education.
That means, when it comes to connectivity, schools are facing a serious capacity problem.
Wireless networks aren’t up to the challenge. Scaling up WiFi leads to lag times, dropped connections and service degradations, which is why many schools are deploying their own private cellular networks.
Join us January 11 at 11 am PT/2 pm ET for a deep dive into private cellular networks – how they work, what to look for, and how to get started. As a participant in this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why a private cellular network provides greater capacity, reliability and cybersecurity than traditional WiFi
- How to use federal ARPA dollars to launch a cellular network
- How private cellular networks can close the digital divide – immediately – for students and teachers
