IC Bus and Kajeet Expand Partnership to Provide a Comprehensive Wi-Fi Solution, Empowering Schools to Enable Student Success through Safe and Reliable Internet Connectivity and Transportation
Summary
LISLE, Ill. & MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IC Bus®, the leading school bus manufacturer and a subsidiary of Navistar, and Kajeet®, a leading provider of IoT connectivity, software and hardware solutions that deliver safe, reliable and controlled internet connectivity to students, enterprises, state and local governments and IoT solution providers, today announced an expanded partnership to make the Kajeet SmartBus hardware and service bundle available to all new and existing buses from IC Bus. For students who live in rural communities or participate in extracurricular activities where travel is required, the time spent on a school bus can add up to several hours each day. Together, Kajeet and IC Bus deliver a safe “mobile homework zone” for students, enabling them to take advantage of their commutes to complete assignments rather than doing it later at home. “The shift to remote learning over the last year greatly exposed vast digital inequities among students, and those without reliable internet access are now even further behind,” said Daniel J. W. Neal, chairman, CEO and founder of Kajeet. Beyond simply Wi-Fi, Sentinel provides administrators with complete visibility into data usage on all connected devices as well as educator-specified mobile policy controls, content blocking and website filtering to ensure students stay safe and on track.
