Connect patrons to the Internet any time, anywhere.
Libraries are essential to providing equal digital and educational opportunity for all Americans. Providing free public Internet access, community programs and digital literacy training enable people to apply for jobs, interact with government agencies, engage in lifelong learning, and keep in touch with family and friends.
As a nonprofit and one of the largest national educational broadband service (EBS) providers in the U.S., we are deeply committed to helping libraries deliver services with a combination of services and products. We help libraries get the Internet access they need and extend it to people who need it most.
- Affordable Access. 4G LTE mobile Internet data plans for just $10/month (save up to 80% annually).
- Donated 4G LTE devices. Libraries save even more through our device donation program via TechSoup.
- Community Inclusion. Bring more library resources into the community with our mobile service.

Mobilize your library services
Libraries across the country are partnering with Mobile Beacon to innovate with technology and offer exciting new services, such as:
- Loaning out the Internet with our Wi-Fi To-Go program. Together with Sprint, we helped over 500 libraries launch their own Wi-Fi to Go programs, lending out over 4,400 hotspots nationwide.
- Providing remote circulation and reference services. Providence Community Library uses our mobile hotspots to remotely connect to reference services, complete circulation duties, and provide free Wi-Fi for families and individuals during community events.
- Create an inexpensive backup Internet service, or load-balance network traffic through a secondary Internet source.
- Provide Internet access for your mobile computer lab so you can hold training anywhere.
- Supplement your Adult Education programs by offering adult learners access to resources during library off-hours.
By pairing Mobile Beacon’s affordable service with programs like TechSoup, we help you open doors to opportunity and expand access to more patrons.
Qualified organizations can receive donated 4G LTE mobile hotspots through our TechSoup donation program to further reduce the cost of connectivity. We offer tiered donation bundles to help you get the number of devices you need to expand access without breaking your budget. You can find out how your library can participate on our TechSoup Donation Program page.
