Envision Technology Advisors Awarded Contracts To Bring Wireless To Rhode Island School Districts

PAWTUCKET, RI – Envision Technology Advisors has recently been awarded contracts to bring wireless access to Rhode Island classrooms in the school districts of Smithfield and Tiverton. These contracts are part of the Rhode Island Department of Education’s (RIDE) Wireless Classroom Initiative, for which Envision was named a Qualified Vendor earlier in the year.

Aimed at expanding wireless access in Rhode Island schools over the next two years, these contracts represent just a few of those that will be awarded as part of this $20 million initiative.

“We are very excited to have been awarded these two contracts and we look forward to working with the schools in these districts,” says Michael Ando, Envision’s COO. “These districts are two of the first in Rhode Island to announce their vendors of choice and we are thrilled that they have chosen to partner with Envision. As more school districts award their contracts in the coming weeks, we hope to be able to announce additional schools that will be working with Envision for this important initiative.”

The contract for the Smithfield school district includes 6 total schools while the contract for Tiverton covers the 5 schools in that district.

“I live in Smithfield and my two kids attend school there,” says Envision’s Director of Marketing, Jeremy Girard. “Knowing that Envision’s efforts and expertise will help improve access to technology for students in their school, as well as others throughout our state, is a very rewarding feeling.”

“As a Rhode Island company, we are proud to be included in an initiative that will make such a significant impact on the quality of education, and access to technology, provided in our schools,” remarked Envison’s CEO, Todd Knapp, when the company was first named a Qualified Vendor for this initiative. With the awarding of these contracts, he reiterated those feelings and added, “Work like this, which is both meaningful and rewarding, is what we love here at Envision. We can’t wait to get started.”

In addition to the contracts for these two school districts, Envision was also awarded a similar contract to install wireless for the Rhode Island Department of Education’s main office. A total of 4 floors in the organization’s Providence office will be set up for wireless access.
