How do I navigate E-Rate funding?

E-rate provides discounts to assist schools and libraries in the U.S. to obtain affordable telecommunications and internet access. This program helps eligible institutions offset the costs of network infrastructure, internet connectivity, and related services to ensure access to modern telecommunications technology.

Navigating E-Rate funding can be complex. With a record year for E-Rate funding on the horizon, Bluum stands ready to share our extensive experience, ensuring your school maximizes this opportunity for technological advancement.

As more technology enters the classroom, schools need a network infrastructure that can support everything from AR/VR to smartboards and robotics while keeping management and
troubleshooting easy for small IT teams.

With E-Rate-eligible solutions from Extreme, public schools and libraries can modernize their infrastructure and ensure they are prepared to support smart campus initiatives, deliver services to an increasing number of distributed users, and speed IT-related deployments while maintaining headcount and budgets for network upgrades.
