Connected Technology for K-12 Education

When Communication Fails, Safety Fails.
When Students Are Offline, Learning Stops.
We Fix Both with a Single, District-Wide 5G Backbone.

 

Premier, powered by T-Mobile’s 5G network, helps K–12 schools solve two critical challenges: maintaining clear, reliable communication to keep campuses safe, and ensuring students have the connectivity they need to learn and succeed—wherever they are.

School Safety – Communication When Seconds Count

When something goes wrong on campus, every second without clear communication makes the situation worse. Principals, SROs, transportation, and district leadership need to talk, see, and coordinate—even when primary internet is down or the network is congested.

Challenges districts face every day

  • Fragmented radios, phones, and apps that don’t talk to each other.

  • Wi-Fi or landline outages that knock out phones, cameras, and safety systems.

  • Limited coverage between buildings, on fields, and at off-site events.

  • Slow, manual processes for reunification and family communication during an incident.

Critical Safety Infrastructure for K12

How Premier helps

T-Mobile 5G as critical safety infrastructure

We treat the cellular network as core safety infrastructure, not a backup. With high-performance 5G and wireless priority options, you get reliable connectivity that keeps voice, data, and video moving when it matters most.

CPR³ as a Command Center

We turn connected devices into a centralized command center for your district. CPR³ enables real-time communication, coordination, and visibility across staff, security, and leadership—without adding complexity.

District-wide communication with T-Mobile PTT & smartphones

We replace fragmented communication with one connected system. Push-to-talk over cellular keeps staff, administrators, and security instantly connected across campuses—without range limits or channel switching.

Failover for phones, cameras, access control & alerts

We keep your critical systems online when primary networks fail. Cellular failover ensures phones, cameras, access control, and alerts continue operating—so safety doesn’t stop during outages.

Network-in-a-Box for reunification & on-site response

We bring connectivity wherever it’s needed. Portable, rapid-deploy networks provide secure communication and internet access for reunification sites, emergencies, and off-site response—no fixed infrastructure required.

Student Connectivity & CPR³ – Supporting the Students Who Need It Most

Safety isn’t just about emergencies—it’s also about ensuring students have what they need to succeed. For many families, the school day ends and the connectivity gap begins.

Challenges districts face every day

  • Students without reliable home internet or devices fall behind on homework and credit recovery.

  • Families struggle to navigate housing, food, healthcare, and other essential services.

  • Traditional phones and broadband programs can be hard to manage and support at scale.

How Premier helps

CPR³ for underserved students and families

We connect students to the resources they need to succeed beyond the classroom. CPR³ (Connecting People to Resources) delivers CIPA-filtered smartphones preloaded with educational tools and access to critical services like housing, food, healthcare, and mental health—all powered by T-Mobile’s 5G network. 

Chromebooks & hotspots with managed connectivity

We provide ready-to-deploy devices with reliable, built-in connectivity. Chromebooks and hotspots come fully configured with secure, managed access—so students can learn anywhere without setup challenges or IT burden.

Simple, scalable management

We simplify deployment and support at scale. From provisioning to remote management and ongoing support, Premier handles the complexity—so your team can focus on students, not technology. 

Transportation, Bus Safety & Crosswalk K-12

Many of your highest-risk moments happen outside the classroom—on buses, at stops, and on the road. You need visibility and communication there, too.

Challenges districts face every day

  • Limited visibility into what’s happening on buses in real time.

  • Manual routing and poor GPS data.

  • No easy way to confirm which students got on or off, and where.

  • Communication gaps between drivers, dispatch, and school leaders during an incident.

How Premier helps

Bus Wi-Fi and connected cameras

 We extend connectivity and visibility to every route. Bus Wi-Fi keeps students connected, while integrated cameras provide real-time visibility and recorded footage to support safety, accountability, and incident response. 

Crosswalk K-12: routing, GPS & student ridership

We give districts full visibility into transportation operations. Real-time GPS tracking, route optimization, and ridership data help improve efficiency, enhance safety, and keep parents and administrators informed. 

Reliable voice & PTT for drivers and dispatch

We keep drivers and dispatch connected without coverage limits. Push-to-talk over cellular enables instant communication across routes, ensuring drivers can reach support when it matters most.

IT & Operations – A Stronger, Simpler Network Foundation

Behind every great safety and connectivity story is a network that just works. Your IT team needs tools that are powerful, secure, and manageable without adding complexity.

Challenges districts face every day

  • Multiple carriers, devices, and platforms make management difficult.

  • Unpredictable costs from unmanaged data, lines, and hardware.

  • Pressure to improve resilience without breaking the budget.

CASE STUDY

Denver Public Schools Improve Attendance

McKinney-Vento (MV) students often lack secure housing and other essential resources including food, healthcare,internet access and communication. As a result, absenteeism is often high and academic performance is often low.

See how the Premier  CPR³ program has positively impacted over 1,100 MV students in Denver Public Schools.
