One of the world’s leading international non-profit organizations launched an ambitious global initiative to encourage physical activity among school children while funding humanitarian aid programs focused on clean water and food access.

ConnectUs deployed over 30,000 cellular-connected tablets over a four-year period supporting more than 3 million student participants worldwide — generating humanitarian contributions estimated to save more than 8,000 lives while reducing technology procurement costs by approximately $4.5 million.

Challenge:

  • Large-Scale Educational Technology Deployment — Thousands of Android tablets configured with custom fitness application and wearable trackers.
  • Strict Budget Constraints — Tier 1 carrier pricing exceeded humanitarian program limits.
  • Aggressive Deployment Timelines — Annual deployment cycles, nationwide classroom participation.

Solution:

Large-Scale Android Tablet Procurement — AT&T-enabled Android tablets optimized for the fitness application.

End-User-Ready Device Configuration — Fully configured with activity tracking app, Bluetooth-paired to wearables, preloaded with user settings, kitted with custom branded boxes and welcome kits.

Scalable Deployment and Logistics Management — Procurement, configuration, staging, kitting, packaging, inventory, nationwide shipping. ~8,000 tablets annually.

Cost Optimization Strategy — ~4.5 million in total savings.

How we did it:

  • Successfully Deployed Over 30,000 Tablets
  • Supported More Than 3 Million Student Participants
  • Contributed to Humanitarian Aid Efforts Worldwide — Estimated to save 8,000+ lives
  • Reduced Technology Costs by Approximately $4.5 Million
  • Accelerated Program Scalability

Why Non-Profit & Education Organizations Choose ConnectUs

ConnectUs helps non-profit, education, and enterprise organizations scale mobile technology deployments through fully managed mobility services designed for speed, efficiency, and operational simplicity.

Multi-Peripheral Device Configuration

We configured each health monitoring device to seamlessly connect with up to six different Bluetooth medical peripherals, including blood pressure monitors, digital stethoscopes, weight scales, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, and thermometers. All devices were tested and validated to ensure stable data transmission and accurate readings.

Android Kiosk Mode & App Lockdown

Every Android device was locked into a secure single-app environment, giving patients access only to the client’s telehealth application. This prevented misuse, reduced support issues, and ensured full compliance with healthcare security standards.

Diabetes Monitor Pairing & Data Sync

We paired diabetes monitoring devices directly with Android tablets and phones, enabling automatic data capture and real-time synchronization with the client’s care platform — without manual input from patients.

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

We implemented electronic visit verification to confirm caregiver visits and remote check-ins, helping the client meet payer and regulatory requirements while improving care transparency.

Treatment Logs & Care Tracking

We enabled secure treatment logs and activity tracking so clinicians could monitor patient engagement, medication adherence, and care outcomes in one centralized system.

A billion-dollar HVAC and plumbing organization needed to modernize and scale its mobile device deployment strategy to support over 8,000 field technicians operating across multiple regions and acquisition growth.

Internal IT teams were overwhelmed by manual device provisioning, peak-season inventory fluctuations, and deployment bottlenecks causing extended technician downtime and delayed field operations.

ConnectUs implemented a fully managed mobility solution that streamlined procurement, mobile device management, staging, logistics, and support — enabling the organization to rapidly scale operations without increasing IT headcount.
