Reliable connectivity is no longer optional—it’s the digital backbone of modern education. From real-time learning to emergency response, today’s K–12 districts need networks that can flex, scale, and perform under pressure.

In this timely webinar, education leaders will explore how 5G is transforming school connectivity into a resilient, cost-effective foundation for the future. Moderated by Dr. Kiesha King, Head of U.S. Education Strategy at T-Mobile and a national voice on digital equity, this discussion will spotlight actionable strategies that protect instructional time, strengthen school safety, and stretch limited budgets.

Join us as experts share their insights on how innovative districts are rethinking network investments, leveraging 5G to bridge access gaps and unlock next-gen learning.
