Case Study: Spring Hill Schools achieves portable, cost-saving LTE & WiFi connectivity for buses, classrooms, and events with Cradlepoint NetCloud Service

Spring Hill Schools Utilize Portable Router-ina-Box

Spring Hill Schools, a K–12 district serving about 3,000 students, needed a portable, easily deployed wireless network for school buses, classrooms, sporting events, and as an emergency backup when wired lines fail. After evaluating options, Spring Hill Schools adopted Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Service for Branch with portable “router-in-a-box” units (managed via Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager) to provide LTE-based WAN connectivity and on‑demand WiFi without costly infrastructure installs.

Cradlepoint’s solution delivered flexible, cloud-managed pop-up networks that teachers, coaches, and bus drivers can carry and power up wherever needed. The deployment saved Spring Hill Schools thousands of dollars by avoiding fiber installs and ongoing maintenance/replacement costs, provides 24x7 support and built‑in security, enables remote troubleshooting through NetCloud Manager, and has become a scalable backup and instruction-enabling tool the district plans to expand.
