Waco Independent School District (Waco ISD) faced a significant challenge in providing reliable and cost-effective Wi-Fi for their off-site Professional
Development (PD) days. These sessions required high-speed internet to access digital resources, participate in virtual collaborations, and utilize
cloud-based tools. However, the hotel’s quote for internet access was prohibitively expensive, making it financially unfeasible for the district.
Beyond immediate financial concerns, Waco ISD needed a sustainable, long-term solution. The professional development courses were crucial for teacher training and growth, and any interruption in connectivity could severely impact their effectiveness. The district sought a cost-effective, robust, portable, and versatile solution to various needs.
