In our first blog, we focused on the demands on the campus broadband network to keep pace with the new learning environments made possible by AR, VR and AI. These highly immersive, high-bandwidth applications are not only transforming how students learn, but they’re also transforming where they learn.
The campus is no longer a specific place and the broadband network that supports all facets of the education enterprise – be it a university, a community college, a school district – requires a new strategy if it is going to keep up.
A private cellular network opens opportunities for education CTOs to meet the needs of students and learning. It offers flexibility via a customizable framework that delivers connectivity beyond the campus itself. Finally, unlike legacy networks, a private cellular network offers value added functionality to IoT and operational technologies. The result? More functionality for teachers

Thanks in large part to the lessons learned from Covid, the campus is no longer defined by a physical space. The campus – and in many cases, the school district – is moving toward an environment where students and learning requires a multi-dimensional interactive and immersive network infrastructure.
Interactive and immersive technologies, like augmented and virtual reality and esports, are a growing component of K–12 schools. Educators and IT teams are challenged to bring these elements to students as a way to engage them in learning.
The campus broadband network is mission critical technology
