It isn’t just about textbooks and chalkboards anymore. The digital age has transformed how we view and prioritize connectivity in schools. And no, we’re not just talking about internet speed; we’re talking about the very lifeline that keeps us tethered to safety and information—cellular signal. 

Safety and Cellular Signal: An Inseparable Duo 

Imagine an emergency in school where every second counts, and the mere delay of a minute could result in unthinkable consequences. Schools ought to be sanctuaries where both learning and safety thrive, but statistics paint a sobering picture. A staggering 70% of K-12 schools are grappling with connectivity issues that can lead to: 

• Dropped emergency calls 
• Hindered communication between staff 
• Severed ties between students and their families 
• Delays in critical messages 
• First responders unable to connect 

In crisis situations, our cell phones transcend their role as communication devices to become indispensable safety tools. But a tool is only as effective as its functionality, and without a reliable signal, those crucial moments could be lost. 

Rapid Communication: More Than Just a Buzzword 

A difference of 60 seconds in 911 response time could potentially save up to 10,000 lives annually. A fact which underscores the immense value of timely communication. WilsonPro steps into this space, championing the cause with its top-notch connectivity infrastructure solutions. It’s not about ensuring that you can scroll through your social media feed; it’s about ensuring that your call for help never goes unheard. 

When schools like Westford Academy and Art City Elementary felt the urgency to upgrade their connectivity for safety, they turned to WilsonPro. The results? Enhanced safety, peace of mind, and a commitment to protecting every student and staff member. 

• Westford Academy, a public high school in MA, used a WilsonPro Repeater System to ensure that everyone would be able to communicate in emergency situations. According to their director of technology, “This was a major investment with the primary goal of ensuring safety.”   
• At Art City Elementary, the teachers, parents, and staff all reported problems making or receiving phone calls. Some teachers had to stand next to a window to get a signal. Once they had installed their WilsonPro signal repeater system, “everyone felt a sense of comfort being able to make calls.”
