Students who qualify will receive a T-Mobile wireless hotspot with a data plan to access the internet at any time and place outside of school. Hotspots are small devices, about the size of a mobile phone, that use cellular data to connect student Chromebooks to the internet wirelessly. The no-cost data plan includes 10GB of high-speed data, followed by data at reduced speeds up to 128kbps.
