This donation program is open to all public, private, and non-profit K-12 schools and universities.
With looming school closures due to COVID-19, nonprofits Mobile Beacon and Digital Wish have a major hotspot donation program available that can significantly increase remote connectivity for students and teachers. Visit www.digitalwish.org and get up to 11 hotspots per school. Discounted $10/month unlimited 4G LTE internet service is provided so that teachers and students can connect and work from anywhere in the coverage area. With a lending pool of hotspots, students-in-need can access the internet to do their on-line homework assignments. Each hotspot can connect up to 10 people on the internet on only one plan.
Educators will receive low-cost, 4G LTE wireless Internet service from Mobile Beacon, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and second largest Educational Broadband Service (EBS) provider in the United States. Mobile Beacon has been licensed EBS spectrum by the FCC to support broadband use in schools and it has partnered with Digital Wish to make its new LTE device donation program available to schools throughout the United States. If your schools have any connectivity issues, this subsidized service will allow you to fill the gaps with wireless hotspot donations. Schools can also start a Hotspot Lending Pool for students needing internet access at home.
