NATIONAL EVENT TECHNOLOGY COMPANY FINDS UNIQUE WAY TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS AND NURSING HOMES IN WAKE OF CORONA VIRUS SHUTDOWN
Sunday, March 15, 2020
Fello, a technology and hardware rental company that concentrates primarily on the events industry, has been monitoring the impact of coronavirus-related closures on clients and events throughout the country. As the United States begins a necessary period of social distancing, Fello has developed a creative way to support the education and healthcare communities to meet remote connectivity needs.
While the cancelation of conferences, sporting events and concerts around the country has reduced the traditional need for tablet rentals, a new demand has arisen – the need for at-home technology for remote working, learning and family connectivity. With the tools, inventory and infrastructure already in place, Fello is uniquely prepared to address this need and as such has launched a national discount program to provide tablet rentals to both schools and nursing homes.
Fello headquarters is located in the NY-NJ Tri-State area which is already being significantly impacted by mandatory school closures and quarantines. According to Zalmy Raskin, CEO of Fello, “As soon as the closures were announced, we were contacted by several local schools to help them prepare for distance learning. We immediately realized that many schools would be facing the same challenges and so we put together a discounted program to support those districts with iPads for students who do not have devices or internet connections at home.”
The at-home learning technology packages provided by Fello include basic level iPads (that can be equipped with LTE data if internet is not available in the home), kid-friendly cases and parental security controls. Fello will also configure the devices and can pre-install education apps such as Google Classroom. Technology packages can be delivered directly to schools or drop-shipped to individual student homes. In addition to supporting at-home learning for closed school districts, nursing homes and assisted living facilities that are currently not accepting outside visitors are also included in the Discount Program and can use tablets for each resident to stay in touch with family virtually.“What drives us now is what drove us to start this business in the first place,” remarked CFO Schneur Landa, “our passion to provide technology in a way that will solve problems and improve people's lives.”
Fello is provided flexible, discounted pricing including damage insurance, based on volume and length of the rental with options to extend the program if closures persist beyond the initial anticipated period.If you are a school district, senior care facility or other business impacted by the corona virus, you can find more information about the discount program here.
Fello Theft & Damage Insurance Service Agreement (“SA")
- COVERAGE FOR DAMAGE
- Subject to the terms and conditions of this Service Agreement (SA), all rental Equipment will be examined for damage upon return, and if/when FCI deems the Equipment as damaged, FCI will repair the Covered Equipment. “Covered Equipment” is limited to iPads that are provided to Renter by FCI for a fee.
- The following parts are eligible for repair by this SA for all Covered Equipment: Glass Screen and Digitizer, Rear Cover, LCD, Battery, Headphone Jack, Volume Button, Lock Button, Microphone, Speakers, Antenna, Camera, GPS Antenna, SIM Card Tray, Home Button, Cameras, Wireless Antenna. If the Covered Equipment is deemed beyond repair by FCI it will be considered a loss and will be subject to the full replacement costs of the lost Covered Equipment.

- When a claim is made for stolen Equipment a Police Report and a Signed and Notarized Loss Affidavit may be required as well as any other relevant information surrounding the theft of the Equipment. FCI may also require proof of theft before considering the claim for coverage.
