A mobile hotspot is a device that has an internet connection provided by a telecom company such as Verizon or T-Mobile. PJUSD has standardized on mobile hotspots that use T-Mobile as a Telecom provider. Mobile hotspots will also be using the same web filtering as being used in the classroom, but are not directly connected to the district’s network. T-Mobile hotspots offered by PJUSD have a data limit of 100 Gigabyte per year. This is sufficient for school work throughout the year.
If an Edunet device is a valid option, a mobile hotspot will NOT be provided.
If your home does not qualify for an Edunet connection, we offer a Mobile hotspot as an alternative, if a T-Mobile signal is available at your home. Each student at the home that needs an internet connection, will need their own mobile hotspot assigned as the hotspot will only be linked to the Chromebook of the specified student. The following processes will have to be completed to receive a Mobile hotspot:
- Contact the PJUSD IT Department for the hotspot option.
- A PJUSD technician will assign and connect your student’s Chromebook to the mobile hotspot.
