Using E-Rate funds to enhance school networks
This guide offers a roadmap to help K-12 leaders successfully leverage E-rate to expand digital learning opportunities for their students.
Digital education infrastructure that supports the needs of every student
We understand how challenging it can be to provide K-12 students with more personalized, hands-on and collaborative learning. That’s why we’ll help you build a digital education infrastructure that supports new learning models and scales alongside your goals.
PERSONALIZED
Tailor learning to student needs
Every student learns differently. Now, with the right technology, you can support personalized learning models that adapt to students’ unique needs and supports the growing list of available classroom technologies. To deliver on the promise of new teaching platforms and online learning initiatives, you need scalable solutions that support increased bandwidth needs.
SECURE

Network and physical security are top priorities for schools, districts and parents. Your technology solutions—from network connections to voice services—should offer security and privacy, and comply with regulations.
EXPERIENCED
Get the funding you need
It’s critical to find and secure the funding that will enable your digital transformation. That’s why it’s so important to work with a partner who understands the E-Rate program and can help you navigate the application process.
