Following a successful pilot program, Boone County School District (BCSD) is expanding its language-learning program to an additional 14 elementary schools and five middle schools for the 2016-2017 academic year. The third largest school district in Kentucky previously launched a pilot program in 2013 in which approximately 1,700 students at two elementary schools used language-learning software from Rosetta Stone, according to an EconoTimes report. BCSD is now expanding the program to reach half of its student population (more than 10,500 students), in an effort to improve college and career readiness.

Further information is available on the Rosetta Stone site.

In Building Wireless (IBW) involves the distribution of wireless signals inside buildings to provide data and voice connectivity. IBW can provide a direct wireless signal from cellphone carriers into the building using small cells or a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). A DAS is a network of antennas that sends and receives cellular signals on a carrier’s licensed frequencies, thereby improving voice and data connectivity for end users. Lack of capacity and coverage are the two main performance issues that an IBW deployment can resolve. Understanding what they mean is essential to comparing and choosing the right IBW technology.
