Private LTE Installation for Education
Nokia Private LTE Site for Educational District Connectivity
A Nokia Private LTE site has been established to connect an educational district's network for students. This is one of six node sites utilizing CBRS frequencies.
Challenges Faced by Educational Institutions
During the pandemic, educational institutions faced significant challenges in providing remote learning. Many students, particularly in rural areas, lacked home internet and relied on cellular phones for internet access. Even those with home internet were hesitant to use their data plans for all-day remote learning. It became the responsibility of the educational institutions to ensure classroom access.
Costly Alternatives and Federal Support
Using cellular modems and mobile hotspots proved too costly due to limited data plans, leading to increased costs when data limits were exceeded. Recognizing this dilemma, the federal government instituted funding to help schools develop ways to provide broadband to students and their geographic areas.
Funding and Deployment of Private LTE Networks
School districts have benefited from the BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) Program, administered by the NTIA, which provides $42.4 billion for broadband infrastructure. Alpha Omega Wireless has assisted multiple school districts in deploying Private LTE networks using Nokia, Ericsson, and Tarana CBRS systems. Private CBRS LTE networks offer enhanced security, performance, and control. By owning their network, schools can achieve direct control, a fast ROI, and lower ongoing costs.
Advantages of Private LTE and CBRS Frequencies
Using private LTE and CBRS frequencies reduces congestion and potential interference compared to traditional Wi-Fi and unlicensed 5GHz wireless systems. Private LTE provides greater security by controlling network access. Reduced dependency on public carriers can lower operational costs, particularly in high data usage environments. Utilizing dedicated spectrum reduces the risk of congestion and ensures consistent network availability.
