Education

Whether you manage a unified district of 10,000 students, land-grant universities with 10 campuses, or a single charter school, your IT drivers are increasingly the same: Support mobile learning and workloads that aren’t bound by walls or schedules. Create a safer, more connected, easier to manage and “green” campus that’s attractive to students and researchers. Improve your responsiveness and visibility during emergencies. Drive more value and life from your existing IT assets.

Breaking boundaries, building futures

Chances are excellent we’ve already deployed the education connectivity solution you’re considering at an institution much like your own. Major initiatives we support include:

Emergency preparedness – We combine emergency notification and incident management applications from trusted names with our gold-standard network and secure technology to help you quickly issue text messages to faculty, staff, students, parents and community stakeholders during critical situations.

Expanded learning opportunities outside the classroom and around the globe – We help un-tether your institution’s students and teachers so they can conduct research and form learning partnerships with whatever resources are most appropriate, from wherever they may be. Move group projects into the field, collect podcast and wiki content at its source, connect teams on distant travel with their host school, and share learnings with an unlimited audience.

Always-on access to information – You can depend on America’s largest and most reliable 3G network to support today’s always-connected curriculum and your students’ digital lifestyles. Our secure email and calendar synchronization capabilities help everyone stay organized and in touch whether on or off campus, so they can work seamlessly with colleagues, research/teaching assistants, and students during travel, guest lecturing, and conferences.

Reduced administration costs and improved organizational efficiency – Hosting more students, but don’t have more room? Need to modernize facilities, but can’t afford to pull miles of new cable? Under pressure to wring new energy efficiencies out of your existing plant? No problem – we help you harness the ready-now power of wireless to bring secure voice and broadband speed to every corner of your campus, so you can support class and lab activity in unexpected places.

That same wireless service can also intelligently connect environmental controls, giving you a dashboard onto remote equipment to optimize your power generation and consumption patterns – or bring visibility to the location and schedules of your maintenance teams and vehicle fleet, so they can cover more of your plant and property in less time with greater effectiveness. And all with the same proven devices that already blanket your student body.

Greater competitiveness in the education marketplace – Let’s face it: students expect to be connected all the time, and faculty and staff aren’t far behind. Verizon Wireless voice and data services free you from dependence on WiFi and let you create a truly wireless campus, so you can gain a competitive edge when recruiting the best students and staff.
