The NC Student Connect Project has an additional opportunity for schools to install AT&T Cradle Point Access Points in school parking lots and in select community locations. We are collecting information on their behalf to help expedite the process.
These cradle points will be free to schools. The only cost the school would incur would be the cost to power the device which will have to be plugged into a regular power outlet to operate. The cradle point access points will be equipped with two sim card drives. If there is a provider who works in your area other than AT&T, then you could install the secondary sim card to provide coverage from that carrier. Additionally, these do have the option to be plugged into a fiber/hard-wired internet connection already existing in your building.
Representatives from the NC Student Connect Program will be available to answer questions during the DTL Technology Leaders Meeting on Thursday, October 8, 2020 from 2:00 - 2:45 pm.
Filling out the application does not mean you will automatically receive funding or the full funding request. The NC Student Connect Team will be working with public school units to approve requests and coordinate installations.
