Education

For over 30 years, Acteon Networks has designed, installed and supported communications solutions for private and public school districts as well as pre-school, college and university settings.

Educators face the same issues many other businesses face: keeping pace with emerging and cutting edge technologies, managing often unpredictable revenues against increasing costs and looking for ways to enhance the educational experience for students.

For those in education, all these tasks – and more – are expected with less funding through federal and state sources, rising contractual and fixed costs and legislative mandates.

Acteon brings NEC Corp. of America products to the educational sector offering cutting edge technology communications solutions geared toward educator’s distinct needs and ever-changing applications.

We’ll listen to what you have to say, and work together to ensure the latest applications are available to serve your staff and students now and we’ll keep tabs on future developments, so you don’t have to.

NEC UNIVERGE VoIP Solutions provides many integrated applications for primary and secondary educational staff, using the same universal platforms other industries use every day.

At Acteon, we recognize educators have distinct and specialized needs, which is why NEC tailors products for education accordingly.
