PARADISE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Modern Voice and Network Solutions Help a School System Stay Connected
The Paradise Unified School District worked with TPx to install voice and SD-WAN solutions to support schools in the area. Failover and redundancy capabilities that TPx brought to bear helped connect schools, students and teachers following a natural disaster.
The Challenge
On the morning of November 8, 2018, Paradise Unified School District employees saw a large plume of smoke off in the distance. Their internet went down almost immediately. Within an hour or two of the fire starting, buildings within Paradise were on fire. The fire spread quickly leaving little in its wake. Over 95% of all the buildings in Paradise were destroyed. After the fire was over, Paradise Unified School District needed to rebuild.
