E-rate solutions
Make Category 2 dollars go farther. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise technology helps you bridge the digital divide for 21st century teaching and learning.
The E-rate program gives every American school and library the opportunity to address their networking and telecommunications challenges by offsetting the total acquisition cost of networking technologies and services. It’s time to do more with your Category 2 budget.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has been an E-rate provider since its inception in 1998, with expertise to help you plan, determine product eligibility, and status. Our cost-effective products and solutions have allowed our customers to get the most out of advanced communications.
Enable 21st century teaching and learning:
- Deploy high performance Wi-Fi
- Benefit from low latency Ethernet switches
- Implement policy-based security
- Leverage automation for efficiency
Transform your school district
Wi-Fi untethers network access to make any space a learning space. Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi gives districts a high performance, controller-less architecture with sophisticated management features that enables 1:1 learning, hybrid teaching, and HyFlex.
A reliable Wi-Fi solution requires a solid LAN. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch family of Ethernet switches provides a network foundation that is high performance, low latency, highly available, secure and built on carrier technology capable of sub-second failover.
School districts must also secure their assets through implementation of a multi-layer network security strategy for protection against ransomware and other cyberthreats. OmniSwitches add additional layers of security by using policy based network access to provide granular control.
K-12 technology directors also need to rely on automation to support their network infrastructure. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s OmniSwitch families have sophisticated automation features such as Intelligent Fabric and 802.1aq (SPB) to streamline deployment, reduce error and help your directors accomplish more with their limited staff.
