Services
The telecommunication service provided by the Wireless Internet Consortium qualifies for E-rate discounts. The carrier class wireless network is designed to provide additional bandwidth in the future and provides significantly more Internet bandwidth than any solution currently available to districts in the counties surrounding Dallas.
The cost for Data services and Videoconference services are not eligible for E-rate discount and are invoiced separately. A district may choose both services, or either the Data service or Videoconference service. For answers to questions you may have refer to the FAQ link on the navigation bar at the upper left or contact Gary Bowers.
