The E-Rate Solutions Series

We know that your school needs reliable technology to connect your students, teachers, and administrators to life-long learning, instructional materials, and information. Through the E-Rate Program, the federal government helps K12 schools obtain discounts of up to 85% on equipment that delivers high-speed internet and telecommunication. However, schools often don’t know what solutions are E-Rate eligible or how to select the technology that will best meet their unique needs. In the E-Rate Solutions Series, our team will cover the: 

    • E-rate application process
    • E-Rate eligible solutions in wireless, wired, and bus Wi-Fi
    • 5-year budget cycle for E-rate (when to request funds and when to buy)
