Saint John Vianney School installed an LTE-based telephone system following a landline outage days before the start of the academic year.
The private school, which enrolls 300 students in grades pre-K through eight, lost phone service when its legacy landline connection failed. The loss of service cut off phone lines used for daily office operations, parent communications, 911 access and first responder contact.
School administrators deployed Verizon One Talk instead of running new physical cables through the facility. The system routes phone calls over cellular LTE networks rather than municipal copper telephone wire.
The cellular setup restored access to local emergency dispatchers while functioning independently of physical wire infrastructure.
The installation also covers daily building operations, providing classroom extensions with individual voicemail, an automated routing menu for administrative announcements and mobile app integration for off-site staff.
