As an infrastructure provider for Wi-Fi networks in public schools, the company contributes to the modernization of education, offering high-performance technological solutions that bring connectivity and innovation to thousands of students and teachers in different regions of the country.
Digital Transformation in Education
The Aprender Conectado program aims to democratize access to high-speed internet in Brazilian public schools, directly benefiting students and educators by providing a more technological and dynamic learning environment.
In addition to ensuring infrastructure for connectivity, the program seeks to encourage the use of digital technologies as a pedagogical tool, allowing teachers and students to have access to innovative educational content, interactive platforms and new forms of learning that encourage the development of essential skills for the 21st century.
To enable this digital transformation, the initiative relies on investments from the 5G Notice, which directed resources from the operators that won the auction to finance connectivity in public schools. Therefore, the program is structured in several phases to reach as many educational institutions as possible.
Social and Technological Impact
The Learning Connected initiative represents a milestone in the digital transformation of Brazilian education. By providing state-of-the-art network equipment, Datacom directly contributes to the digital inclusion of thousands of students, allowing schools to have access to essential technological tools for quality teaching.
