Outfitting your varsity esports program
The cost to start an esports program can be quite low compared with traditional sports extracurriculars. There's no specialized outdoor field to install and less sports equipment to maintain.
However, whether you want to build out a small test-pilot program in a multi-use computer lab or a purpose-built gaming arena, there are key components we provide to help you join the competition:
Computers
Equipment performance can make or break a team. You’ll need high-power computers with adequate processing power, RAM and graphical processing for smooth gaming.
Peripherals
Durable gaming mice, keyboards, controllers, headsets and monitors are engineered with performance, ergonomics and aesthetics for esports athletes in mind.
Networking
High bandwidth and low latency are essential to eliminate common issues, like lag, in competitive gaming where many matches are hosted online.
Security
Protect student identity and data with enhanced protocols. You can control which games are accessible and when based on age-appropriateness and school schedules.
