Injectors must meet the required 802.3at/802.3bt power needs and provide multi-gigabit pass-through. Equivalent platforms must provide feature parity with the district’s existing Cisco Meraki environment and include migration costs. Hardware warranty coverage must be at least five years; itemized costs must distinguish E-Rate-eligible and ineligible items.
