Why Pay for Cellular Coverage and Wi-Fi?

A Comprehensive Wireless Strategy Includes Wi-Fi and Cellular

All school campuses have Wi-Fi networks – and the bigger the campus, the more individual networks. Wi-Fi makes sense for many applications, but a comprehensive wireless strategy includes Wi-Fi and cellular coverage.

Here are some advantages (over Wi-Fi) to covering your campus with a strong off-air cellular signal:

  • More reliable with fewer interruptions
  • Less interference and network traffic issues allow you to take advantage of the operator’s macro network
  • Users (including parents and visitors) don’t need to log in to various networks as they move across campus
  • Access to multiple operator signals in an emergency situation
  • Less pressure on internal IT teams
  • More secure

Students, Teachers, Staff, and Parents Appreciate Cellular Coverage

Allow the community to focus on education and student well-being

Keeping touch with family and friends digitally is an everyday thing for many families and lifeline for those living apart from them.

Important meetings and appointments can now happen virtually. Having secure, reliable connectivity for residents and their guests reduces stress and ensures access.

Work-from-home and hybrid jobs are common. Office workers often need to connect multiple devices at once, and with Wi-Fi reliability issues, cellular backup and hotspot access is a must.

Safety starts with connectivity. Staying connected means residents have access to 9-1-1 and other services they may need, no matter where they are on the property.
