Kajeet
Résumé
Kajeet is a Mobile network operator that delivers secure and controlled internet access to a variety of industries across North America and globally in 24 other countries. Kajeet Inc. provides Iot of connectivity, software, hardware products and services to businesses, schools, hospitals, government agencies, and telecommunications enterprises. Its headquarters are located in McLean, Virginia and operations are located in Phoenix, Arizona, with regional offices in 11 cities in the United States.
Kajeet was founded in the 2003 by three fathers who wanted to figure out how to use mobile technology to provide a safe mobile experience for kids. The company name, "Kajeet", was derived as an anagram from the names of the founder's children. Two of the original founders still guide the company today: Ben Weintraub, COO, and Daniel Neal, CEO. Kajeet's original service provided safety-conscious families with affordable cell phones and prepaid plans for their teens, and young children. More recently Kajeet has implemented its patented mobile management technology to provide off-campus mobile connectivity service to school districts.
In 2007, Kajeet was mentioned in a Time Magazine online article and in the print edition. In both, the author Wendy Cole recounted her daughter's experience during Kajeet beta testing.
Kajeet began offering off-campus mobile broadband service to schools and districts in 2012 and Education Broadband service in 2014. According to multiple sources, on average, one-third of U.S. students do not have adequate Internet access when they leave school. As more and more districts and schools incorporate technology into their curriculum and prepare for state-mandated testing (1-to-1, BYOD, Blended Learning), students are required to work on assignments outside the classroom. A large number of disadvantaged students are finding themselves caught in a widening “digital divide” struggling to keep up with their more affluent peers.
