Overview
Brief Program Summary: The Marion County Dedicated eLearning Network Pilot will enable
broadband connectivity for K-12 and higher education eLearning for students from low-income
households. Energy Systems Network and Indiana 5G Zone are implementing the pilot across
seven sites in Marion County through the 2021-2022 school year. In addition to helping address
the need for high-speed internet access, the pilot will also equip partners with the insights
necessary to develop a county-wide network solution.
