How a Private Cellular Network Boosted Distance Learning in Utah

March 31, 2021

12 p.m. MT - 60 min

Event Description

Education is changing as quickly as business, with the effects felt by students, teachers, and families alike. For Murray City School District in Utah, the COVID-19 pandemic brought about not just an abrupt pivot to distance learning, but a significant opportunity to use technology to better serve the community for years to come.

Children and parents in this district were sharing the same spaces, the same communication channels, and the same struggles to keep engaged with their work or education demands. The strain of widespread teleconferencing and streaming was hampering the network experience and making it more difficult for students to fully leverage their district-provided Chromebooks.

Murray City School District addressed this challenge by implementing a Private Cellular Network (PCN) available throughout the community — providing access for all. In this webinar, one of the district’s technology leaders will provide key information about:

  • Articulating the challenges of a digital divide between student access
  • Justifying the vision for a PCN solution
  • Setting up a PCN deployment
  • Controlling and centrally managing a private network
