Who We Serve

OSHEAN serves the region's Community Anchor Institutions — and every community is different. Explore how OSHEAN's network, cloud, and cybersecurity portfolio supports each of the communities we serve.

Higher Education

OSHEAN connects every one of Rhode Island's higher education institutions — and several in Massachusetts — with research-grade networking, unmetered Internet2 access, and a security portfolio built for campus environments.

K-12 Education

A large majority of Rhode Island's K-12 schools and districts ride the Beacon network. OSHEAN pairs fast, reliable connectivity with CIPA-compliant filtering and student-safety tools — backed by E-Rate-eligible services.

Healthcare

Rhode Island's largest health systems trust OSHEAN for the always-on connectivity that modern care demands — from telehealth and imaging to multi-site clinical networks — with security services built for regulated environments.

Libraries

Libraries are community digital hubs — and OSHEAN keeps them connected. From Ocean State Libraries to historic athenaeums, members get affordable broadband, CIPA-compliant filtering, and a partner in digital-equity work.

State & Local Government

From state departments and agencies to Rhode Island municipalities, OSHEAN is public-sector infrastructure: member-to-member connectivity, municipal networking, and cybersecurity that protects constituent services.

Community Organizations

Non-profits — from public media and foundations to housing and food security organizations — get enterprise-grade technology at non-profit-friendly economics, plus a partner committed to closing the digital divide.
