FirstLight has been selected to provide high-speed, dedicated internet and voice services for the Saratoga Springs School District in Saratoga, N.Y.
With technology offerings such as iPads, tablets, SMART boards and online educational resources for all students, the Saratoga Spring School District sought to work with a communication service provider that could offer dedicated multi-gigabit speed, reliability and superior customer support.
“FirstLight has been very attentive to the school district’s needs and has provided a secure and consistent connection to the Internet, as well as quality voice services,” commented David L’Hommedieu, Assistant Superintendent for Information Technology and Operational Innovation for the Saratoga Springs School District. “FirstLight’s service offerings have allowed our students and staff to effectively access web-based applications that, prior to FirstLight, would have required intensive bandwidth capacity. A weight has been lifted knowing that the district’s uptime will not be an issue for years to come allowing our students, faculty and staff to leverage the latest educational applications without experiencing any buffering or downtime.”
“We are honored to serve the Saratoga Springs School District in New York, a district that has been educating students since 1923,” stated Kurt Van Wagenen, President and CEO of FirstLight. “As a service provider with deep experience supporting K-12 and higher learning educational institutions, we understand the critical role that our high quality connectivity solutions play in supporting the learning environment, and we’re proud to have been chosen to support the schools in Saratoga Springs.”
FirstLight provides a comprehensive portfolio of secure, scalable telecommunications solutions and knowledgeable staff experienced in working with K-12 districts and libraries to support advanced voice/VoIP, multicast, video and distance learning applications for single and multi-site institutions.
