Perhaps nowhere in communities has the Covid-19 pandemic been more impactful than in the education sector. Overnight, students were ripped from the classroom and positioned in front of laptop computers at home to continue their education in solitude… at least those lucky enough to have broadband access sufficient to do so.
From the instant of that devastating outbreak, the education sector has demonstrated the critical need for reliable and robust broadband networks as a utility, not merely as a convenience or a source of entertainment. Whether providing access to students at home or connecting educational platforms and teachers to the Internet for interactive sessions with their students, broadband networks are the glue that allows the educational process to continue uninterrupted.
Big Bang Broadband designs and builds carrier-grade networks that have the robustness and reliability to support the highspeed, sustainable interconnectedness required by distance-learning programs. We help educational institutions deploy applications that allow management, organization and scheduling of broadband resources to fit the changing needs of the curriculum. We believe in high-speed broadband as “table stakes” for the new format of education that is likely here to stay and we help municipalities and utility cooperatives build and operate those networks.
