The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend sweeping through education markets around the world is changing the face of teaching and learning, as more students use their own devices both at home and in school. As is the case everywhere, reliable, consistent WiFi availability is becoming increasingly important for students and teachers in Brazil.
