Key Benefits
Executive Perspectives
Carlos Salazar, Director of Technology and Innovation, King-Chavez Neighborhood of Schools
"The discounts available through E-Rate made building a state-of-the-art network a possibility for our school district. We purchased networking equipment needed to address our district's current needs and know these solutions will enable us to increase technology usage throughout our schools in the future. With E-Rate eligible solutions from Extreme, we provide reliable connectivity for our students, teachers, and staff and ensure that no matter what technology is used in the classroom, the network will not be an issue."
Dan Scott, Director of Technology, School District of Elmbrook
"With 50-60 district-issued and personal devices in a single classroom, our previous network struggled at times to support a flexible, technology-driven curriculum. E-Rate eligible solutions from Extreme and a broad vision for robust bandwidth and real-time network management enabled us to secure support from our Board of Education for an entire network refresh of 85 network switches and 630 access points. The network technology was seamlessly integrated into our network design and pre-configured devices were easily installed by our student interns. Since deploying the network, we have seen a significant decrease in reported connectivity issues allowing our teachers and students to focus on learning."
David Savage, Vice President of State and Local Education and Government Sales, Extreme Networks
"Our K-12 schools and public libraries are facing a dual challenge: they must integrate technology into their classrooms and curriculums, while pivoting between hybrid and traditional learning. Extreme's goal is to remove some of that stress by delivering best-in-class, E-Rate eligible solutions and expert support. We help our customers in education focus on teaching, without ever worrying about the strength of their Wi-Fi or network performance."
