Mobile Virtual Network Operator/Enabler (MVNO/E) based in the US, Kajeet and Novatel Wireless, a leading provider of solutions for the Internet of Things, are partnering with Spartanburg School District Seven and the Spartanburg Housing Authority for a pilot program to provide students in public housing with filtered Internet connectivity enabling them to  access online textbooks, apps, emails, documents and websites, as well as communicate with their teachers. 

As part of the program, Kajeet and Novatel Wireless will provide Kajeet SmartSpot solutions - a MiFi brand mobile hotspot by Novatel Wireless combined with Kajeet's Education Broadband - to ensure the students are accessing safe, filtered broadband for educational purposes.  

According to Kajeet, it is currently partnering with more than 50 districts in 22 states in keeping students connected on multiple national 4G LTE wireless broadband networks to ensure that students have a level playing field for academic success, improved test scores, and college and career readiness.

These devices are giving them opportunities—a tool to further their education. When they take their iPads and computers home, it extends the learning day. Now we want to level the playing field for those without Internet access at home. This new program will benefit our students and their families.

Chris Yeatts, Director of Product Management for Novatel Wireless
Our MiFi technology is so much more than a mobile hotspot. Combined with Kajeet’s innovative cloud platform and service, the solution has become a powerful educational tool that enables educators to provide mobile broadband for all students with the ability to keep the focus on education.
