School Bus Wi-Fi
Gone are the days of blackboards, three-hole punches, and freshly sharpened No. 2 pencils. Today’s K-12 students and teachers depend on laptops, tablets, cloud apps, data-driven instruction, and nonstop Internet connectivity. Due to widespread shifts such as online testing for Common Core and the rapid rise of cloud-based applications, many school districts are seeking networking solutions that meet their evolving needs without complicating network management or creating new security vulnerabilities. K-12 IT teams are asked to adopt new technologies while solving an array of challenges related to bandwidth, cybersecurity, reliability, flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
