Getting a community connected with broadband is a complex project, and the path forward may seem daunting. You’ll have to weigh many options and make strategic decisions. For example:
- Will you go with a fiber or wireless infrastructure? And what are the benefits of each?
- What options help to ensure a future-proof investment?
- How do you ensure sustained reliability while maintaining the highest possible bandwidth?
- What is the best option to deploy smart city and/or smart grid technologies?
