FatPipe has been awarded a $7 million contract to provide network edge products and monitoring services to schools. The deployment is intended to improve network availability, centralized visibility and the speed at which administrators can identify and address connectivity problems.
The company’s technology will support access to digital learning platforms, administrative systems, communications tools and cloud-based applications. These resources have become increasingly important as schools rely more heavily on connected classrooms and online services.
FatPipe develops software-defined wide area networking, commonly known as SD-WAN, and cybersecurity technology. SD-WAN allows organizations to manage multiple network connections through a unified software platform rather than depending on a single carrier or connection type.
The company’s solutions can operate across fiber, broadband, 5G, satellite and other network services. This flexibility can help schools maintain connectivity when one connection experiences an outage or performance problem.
The deployment will provide administrators with tools for monitoring network health across distributed locations. Greater visibility can help technology teams identify slow connections, service disruptions and other issues before they materially affect students and staff.
FatPipe’s network edge products are also designed to route traffic across available connections to improve uptime and application performance. This can be particularly useful for school systems operating across numerous campuses with different local network conditions.
The contract expands FatPipe’s presence in the education and public-sector markets. It also demonstrates the company’s ability to support large-scale deployments across geographically dispersed organizations.
FatPipe holds multiple patents related to enterprise networking and provides SD-WAN and single-stack cybersecurity products. The company plans to continue pursuing opportunities involving organizations that require reliable connectivity across multiple sites.
