School District Modernizes Network to Support 1:1 Device Initiative
Lakewood School District achieves 100% WiFi coverage and 10x bandwidth increase with E-Rate funded network modernization supporting 1:1 initiative.
The challenge
Lakewood School District's network infrastructure couldn't support their 1:1 Chromebook initiative. WiFi dead zones frustrated teachers, bandwidth bottlenecks made video learning impossible, and content filtering struggled to keep students safe online. E-Rate funding was available but the district lacked expertise to navigate the program.
Our 1:1 initiative was failing because of network limitations. Rubber Duck Technology not only designed the right solution but navigated E-Rate to fund most of the project. Our teachers finally have the digital classroom they were promised.
The solution
Rubber Duck Technology designed an E-Rate eligible network modernization covering WiFi, switching, and internet bandwidth. The solution included high-density access points for classroom environments, unified management across 12 schools, and CIPA-compliant content filtering with AI-powered categorization.
The results
- E-Rate funded 80% of project cost
- WiFi coverage expanded to 100% of facilities
- 10x bandwidth increase
- Zero content filtering complaints
- Student device success rate improved to 99%
