E-Rate Category Two
For basic firewall and internal broadband-related scope where eligibility, pricing, and documentation fit current rules.
E-Rate & Funding
Funding path first. Security scope second.
Calbrate helps districts separate cybersecurity need, funding path, component mapping, and implementation support before assuming one program covers everything.
Funding Routes
Not every cybersecurity feature belongs in the same funding lane.
FCC Cybersecurity Pilot
For selected participants evaluating approved cybersecurity services under current Pilot guidance and USAC review.
Local, grant, or contract funding
For controls that may sit outside E-Rate or Pilot scope, including broader SASE, identity, endpoint, email, backup, or advisory needs.
Eligibility depends on current rules, applicant status, discount rate, budget, product configuration, component pricing, and USAC review. Calbrate supports solution scope and documentation; the applicant, authorized consultant, or counsel owns filings and certifications.
How Calbrate Helps
Keep the funding conversation clean before the quote is built.
Clarify the cybersecurity need before funding assumptions are made.
Map solution components so eligible, partially eligible, and non-eligible scope stay separate.
Support the demo, quote, and implementation documentation the district can review.
