E-Rate
E-Rate is a federal program that provides discounts to schools and libraries to obtain affordable Wi-Fi, internet access, and telecommunications services throughout the country. Applications are filed online and tracked through the various phases of the program. Our over 600 clients are schools and libraries nationwide. Furthermore, we hold contracts with both the Indiana Department of Education and the Indiana State Library assisting in the filing of E-Rate applications. The E-Rate portion of the business is performed by our 17 E-Rate Consultants. Contact with our clients, schools and libraries, is handled through visits to the client sites and telecommunications. AdTec has been assisting schools and libraries in the E-Rate program since its inception in 1998. We handle the complex, tedious work of E-Rate filing so you don’t have to!
