Three highly skilled technicians purchase, install, and maintain networking equipment for the ESD, its four school districts, and a variety of non-profit governmental agencies.

The ESD Tech Center continually strives to leverage technology to serve regional districts while improving efficiency. Strategies to accomplish this goal include:

• Consolidate purchasing for increased savings

• Provide solutions and support that enable higher quality services

• Keep abreast of the latest innovations

The department also continues to develop and support a local Wide Area Network for the ESD, component school districts and other “non-private” organizations. This network consists of leased fiber optic & licensed microwave links with a bandwidth ranging from 100 to 1000 Mbps.
