Kajeet,
which produces a device delivering wireless Internet access to
students who lack broadband connectivity, has expanded its selling
options. The company has signed agreements with Education
Networks of America (ENA)
and ENA affiliate company CatchOn.
ENA develops connectivity and communication systems for education
settings. CatchOn provides software that analyzes program usage in
schools and districts for better decision making.
ENA
will begin selling two products from Kajeet: SmartSpot,
a portable WiFi hotspot; and SmartBus,
a school bus WiFi system. In turn, Kajeet will add CatchOn to its
catalog of products.
"ENA
and CatchOn share our focus on education and understand the unique
challenges of providing patented managed connectivity to K-12
environments," said Greg Jones, Kajeet's chief technology
officer, in a statement. "This collaboration is a perfect
complement of solutions, with CatchOn providing data analytics and
Kajeet ensuring students can connect to their education."
