Connect Your Schools with a WAN.
Connect Your Students to the World.

Windstream is specially suited to provide your District with a state-of-the-art Wide Area Network (WAN).

A Windstream WAN significantly enhances your students' educational experience and equips your educators with the tools they need to prepare students to compete in a global, technology-driven society.

With a Windstream WAN, you can expect:

• Excellent customer service with rapid 2-hour response; your call will be answered by a "live person"
• More than 35 years in the telecommunications industry
• Peace of mind knowing your WAN is monitored 24x7x365 by network professionals who make superior service a priority
• Redundant Network Operations Centers in Evansville, Indiana and Brookfield, Wisconsin built to withstand most natural disasters with no power interruptions

E-Rate Experience

• Windstream's focus is designing, constructing and operating state-of-the-art gigabit Ethernet WANs
• We are a Priority 1 common carrier that has served schools and libraries since the inception of the E-Rate Program in 1998
  • We track and monitor E-Rate filings, including Forms 470, 471 and 486, and BEAR and SPI forms
  • We have E-Rate experienced staff, including E-Rate billing specialists
  • Over 80 school districts have placed their confidence in us and our E-Rate business annual growth has reached 75% over the last 5 years

The Windstream Difference

• We offer custom GigE solutions at a reasonable price
• A Windstream WAN is a dedicated network for your data only
  • Our point-to-point fiber design is not oversubscribed like many local carriers and cable companies
  • We offer a full Gigabit of bandwidth to each school; schools don't share bandwidth
  • Our WAN won't aggregate your data with other customers'; reducing congestion, improving latency and helping with CIPA compliance
• With a Windstream WAN, you can enjoy control and flexibility
  • We offer a Layer 2 GigE network option; giving schools more control over configuration
  • A Windstream Layer 2 network gives schools the flexibility to set QoS priorities and create their own VLAN without the hassle of service tickets and waits in crowded queues
