NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atlanta Public Schools (APS) has selected Education Networks of America, Inc. (ENA) to provide managed wide area network (WAN) data connectivity services district-wide to over 100 of their learning and administrative sites. The district’s request for proposal (RFP) issued in the fall of last year required service providers to have demonstrable experience in providing WAN services to urban school districts, offer the best value for the district’s requirements and maximize the federal E-Rate program that provides subsidized discounts to schools and libraries for the purchase of telecommunication and networking services. The three-year contract begins July 1, 2011.
“We are delighted to service Atlanta Public Schools and help them achieve their mission of strategically managing and leveraging technology for improved outcomes”
Under the contract, ENA will ensure high-speed, reliable broadband connectivity between all district sites and the central office.
