Today’s educators face new challenges in achieving academic excellence, administrative efficiency, technological innovation, and physical and informational security for all students and staff. MasterLink can provide solutions to meet these challenges: IP videoconferencing enables students to communicate with others and allows teachers and staff to attend meetings without travel and bring in resources from the outside; IP video streaming facilitates media-rich learning and allows schools to centralize media resources; a single converged network for all building control systems can result in cost savings and operational efficiencies; IP communications can put a phone in every classroom and office to enhance communications, increase security, boost productivity, and save time and money; digital video can monitor school buildings and grounds while providing network security and URL filtering; secure wireless solutions give teachers, students and staff secure access to network resources from anywhere, through PCs, laptops, tablet PCs, PDAs and other devices. Virtual Desktop solutions for student desktops are also an alternative that is highly secure as well as easily deployed and managed.
