ALLO Fiber (AlloFiber.com), a leading provider of fiber-optic broadband services, is proud to announce the official launch of its Smart Schools solution in partnership with Lincoln Public Schools (LPS). LPS students can now securely connect their school-issued devices throughout Lincoln and other ALLO communities for an improved learning experience.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to digital equity in Lincoln. By utilizing nearly 100,000 business and residential access points, ALLO and LPS are expanding classroom boundaries and reducing broadband barriers that disproportionately affect underserved students.
“This is truly a community approach that leverages network access dispersed throughout the neighborhoods served by our schools,” said Kirk Langer, Chief Technology Officer for Lincoln Public Schools. “Just as roads are critical infrastructure for economic development, Smart Schools is critical infrastructure for the educational development of our learners.”
Built on ALLO’s SmartTown Wi-Fi infrastructure powered by Calix (NYSE: CALX), Smart Schools enables approximately 23,000 students in grades 6 to 12 to automatically connect their school-issued computers to high-speed Wi-Fi from virtually anywhere, including school, local businesses, community venues or at home. This education-optimized connectivity supports academic success and more consistent access to digital learning.
“We’re thrilled to work alongside Lincoln Public Schools to enhance learning opportunities,” said ALLO Founder Brad Moline. “Smart Schools is more than connectivity. It is about empowering students, supporting educators and helping close the digital divide across Lancaster County.”
