Connectivity Beyond the Classroom: Connecting Students… Anytime, Anywhere.

Recognizing the need to bridge the Homework Gap to allow students to reach their full academic potential, the Imperial County Office of Education launched an infrastructure initiative that helps ensure equal access to internet services throughout our county.

ICOE has teamed up with local school districts to bring wireless internet connectivity to students in the communities of Brawley, Calexico, Calipatria, El Centro, Heber, Holtville, Imperial, Niland, Seeley and Westmorland.

The BorderLink pilot relies on Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, the same wireless technology that connects mobile phones and devices from all of the major carriers.

The private education wireless network infrastructure that BorderLink is deploying complements the existing fiber-optic infrastructure throughout Imperial County that connects our schools and public agencies to each other and the internet. Students, teachers, and others will be provided devices to ensure this high-speed connectivity is with them as they leave school grounds. Whether at home or elsewhere in the community, students will no longer worry about having the access they need to further their education, engage with other students or teachers, or access their digital curriculum or other resources.
