E-Rate Information

If you are unfamiliar with the Priority 1 funding process or requirements, we are happy to provide information. We do everything that we can, within the boundaries of the E-Rate regulations, to help make the E-Rate application process as headache-free as possible. If your school or library is not receiving E-Rate funding, let us provide information that you may want to consider when applying. If your school district has an E-Rate consultant, Trumpet works hand-in-hand with your consultant to ensure that our solutions effectively fit into your overall technology plan. More information

Trumpet Voice with Converged Fixed-Mobile

Trumpet’s feature-rich hosted IP telephony solution - Trumpet Voice - is an enterprise-class, E-Rate Priority 1-eligible solution. Trumpet Voice comes with a full array of the features you expect and some you may not – like simultaneous ringing for up to five different numbers per user, unlimited no-charge in-district calling, and low-cost voicemail-only options for teachers or others who  cannot answer calls during the school day.

Trumpet Voice includes optional Converged Fixed-Mobile (CFM) functionality.  CFM allows Trumpet Voice users to place calls over your in-building WiFi network using their dual-band cellular phones.  CFM eliminates the need for costly in-building cellular amplification build-outs, while reducing cellular minute usage by allowing your WiFi network calls to travel over the Trumpet hosted Advanced Voice Services network.  Senior administrators, IT professionals, specialized teaching staff, maintenance personnel or others who travel from building to building during their work day are seamlessly connected to their cellular network as they leave the building, then reconnected to the Wi-Fi network when they re-enter any other district building.

TruVeillance Video Surveillance and Access Control

Trumpet’s fully-programmable, evidence-quality video surveillance solutions, provided with the assistance of trusted partners, provide superior quality video surveillance at a great price.  Features include a secure Web-accessible, highly-intuitive interface for viewing, saving and controlling cameras or managing schedules, alerts and other aspects of the video network. 

Trumpet’s highly-flexible access control solutions, also provided through its partners, enable network-based, fully-programmable control over each school’s access points.  Integrated access card and biometric input devices not only let you regulate who has access but can also maintain a record of who has obtained access at what times.

WANmax

Trumpet WANmax can increase the effective throughput of your wide area network connections by 10x or more.  WANmax is ideal for increasing connection speeds for affiliated schools and part-time or full-time staff who work from home – all without changing your current WAN connectivity contract.

WANmax works with any connection, including T1, DS3, MPLS, DSL, cable, satellite and microwave.  It is especially cost-effective for long-haul, point-to-point connections where bandwidth costs are at a premium, although our client-solution provides an effective solution for even single-user connections. 

Avoid the cost of point-to-point connection upgrades, while enjoying blazing connection speeds with WANmax. 

Secure Backup and DR Networks

Working with its partners, Trumpet provides secure and reliable end-to-end backup and disaster recovery (DR) utilizing the full WANconnect suite of connectivity options.

Look to Trumpet for convenient, effective solutions tailored to the needs of your public or private K-12 school district, university, college, or library!
