Charter Schools USA Selects GTT SD-WAN to Improve Network Agility and Security

McLean, VA, March 10, 2021

GTT Communications, Inc. (NYSE: GTT), a leading global cloud networking provider to multinational clients, announced today that Charter Schools USA (CSUSA), through its partnership with information technology provider 10jin Solutions, has selected GTT to upgrade its network infrastructure with software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) technology to more flexibly and securely meet the in-class and remote learning needs of its students, teachers, and administrative staff. The initial SD-WAN deployment is 86 sites, and GTT is poised to expand to additional CSUSA locations across the U.S. as needed.

In today’s hybrid classroom and remote learning scenarios, CSUSA-managed charter schools are more reliant than ever on secure and reliable network infrastructure. The selection of GTT Managed SD-WAN Service will enable 10jin Solutions and its largest client, CSUSA, to standardize on a higher performance and more agile network platform to enable cloud applications supporting the student learning environment and school administration. GTT’s managed SD-WAN solution, underpinned by its global Tier 1 internet network, features 4G LTE wireless backup for enhanced failover capability and resiliency, and delivers greater network agility, optimized application performance, and more efficient, secure use of bandwidth resources.

Additionally, by partnering with GTT, 10jin Solutions and CSUSA can access GTT’s E-Rate expertise to help guide strategies to maximize each school’s subsidized E-Rate benefit and USAC/FCC requirements.

“We are pleased to be partnering with GTT to implement software-defined networking technology to schools across our U.S. footprint.”

“Network reliability and security have become a cornerstone of the IT platform utilized by CSUSA-managed schools since the outbreak of the pandemic early last year,” commented 10jin Solutions’ Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure, Pierre Schoepp. “The deployment of GTT’s managed SD-WAN solution is an important component supporting the migration to the most advanced and resilient networking technologies that ensure students are learning in a secure environment with a strong, redundant network for stability and maximum uptime. We are pleased to be partnering with GTT to implement software-defined networking technology to schools across our U.S. footprint.”

“We recognize the vital importance of Charter Schools USA providing a safe and enriching learning environment during these challenging times,” stated Rob Westervelt, GTT SVP and Channel Chief. “We are honored to be supporting this mission with the rollout of SD-WAN technology, partnering with Charter Schools USA to secure the E-Rate subsidies that make it economically viable and cost-effective. We look forward to supporting this network infrastructure upgrade initiative nationwide over the upcoming months and beyond.”
