Protect Your University's Network from Downtime with Eaton

When it comes to schools and universities, upgrades to telecommunications equipment can sometimes be prohibitively costly. Luckily, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) offers a universal service support program, commonly known as the E-rate program, to help you obtain affordable broadband. Within the E-rate program, there are two categories of service: 

• Category One services to a school or library (telecommunications, telecommunications services and Internet access)
• Category Two services that deliver Internet access within schools and libraries (internal connections, basic maintenance of internal connections and managed internal broadband services)

Eaton offers hundreds of products eligible under the Category Two services for broadband internal communications, helping you upgrade your educational facility's telecommunications equipment with the E-rate program. These products include their full line of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery Backup solutions. With these products, you can defend your network against power outages, maintaining the consistent uptime your students and teachers require. 

The landscape of learning has changed, and schools have shifted to remote and hybrid learning, increasing the reliance on power (and the requirement for consistent uptime). Mobile access expansion in universities that allows students and professors to easily access buildings while social distancing requires increased security, even through your power equipment. New educational IT systems require power efficiency to ensure an engaging experience that doesn't include downtime. Now is the time to prepare your network and protect it from power threats.
