CITE 2025: Powering the Future of Safer, Smarter Schools

The CITE 2025 Annual Conference officially kicks off today in Sacramento—and once again, it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting events in K–12 educational technology. Thousands of district leaders, IT professionals, and solution providers have gathered at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center for four days of learning, collaboration, and innovation.

This year, MHT Technologies is proud to be on the show floor in partnership with Panduit and Ewing-Foley, bringing the latest in intelligent infrastructure, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and smart-building technology to the districts shaping tomorrow’s classrooms.

Together, we’re delivering scalable, secure, and sustainable solutions that help schools modernize safely—and affordably.

MHT Technologies, Panduit & Ewing-Foley: Building Safer, Smarter Schools

As budgets tighten and security threats increase, K–12 districts need infrastructure that’s secure, adaptable, and energy-efficient. That’s where the combined expertise of Panduit, Ewing-Foley, and MHT Technologies comes in.

Panduit is also highlighting advancements in Fault Managed Power (FMP)—an emerging Class 4 power technology that gives schools a safer, more flexible alternative to traditional high-voltage wiring. FMP enables long-distance power delivery with built-in fault detection and automatic shutoff, making it ideal for critical systems like lighting, sensors, access control, and building safety devices.

For districts looking to modernize without the cost and complexity of major electrical upgrades, FMP provides a scalable, code-compliant foundation that pairs seamlessly with PoE and other low-voltage technologies.

A Unified Approach to School Modernization

Safe schools start here. Together, we help districts:

  • Deploy safer, low-voltage power infrastructure
  • Install PoE lighting and smart devices that reduce energy consumption
  • Enhance school safety with integrated sensors, automation, and real-time monitoring
  • Build stronger, more resilient network and power systems
  • Support next-generation hybrid learning, AV, IoT, and district-wide connectivity
  • Reduce the cost and complexity of traditional electrical systems

From classrooms to cafeterias, gymnasiums to district offices, we’re powering the next generation of learning environments—creating schools that are safer, more sustainable, and easier to manage.

Where to Find Us

You can meet the teams from MHT Technologies, Panduit, and Ewing-Foley on the expo floor throughout Wednesday’s exhibit hours. If you’re attending, stop by to see live demos, talk strategy, and learn how PoE and intelligent infrastructure can help future-proof your district.
