What is Smart Schools?

Many students today grow up in a fully connected world. But not every family can afford home internet, creating a serious gap in access to learning. ALLO’s Smart Schools helps bridge that divide by connecting students to reliable internet beyond the classroom ensuring every child has the opportunity to success no matter their income.

We are proud to announce the official launch of our Smart Schools solution in partnership with Lincoln Public Schools (LPS). This initiative brings next-generation wireless connectivity to students across Lincoln, ensuring secure, seamless, and equitable internet access for learning, wherever students go.

This collaboration reflects a deep commitment to digital equity in Lincoln. By leveraging local businesses and residential access points, ALLO and LPS are expanding the boundaries of the classroom and eliminating broadband barriers that disproportionately affect underserved students.

LPS students can find details about how to enroll in Smart Schools here.
