It is well documented how economies thrive or wither, in direct correlation to the broadband services available to residents. Cleveland, historically ranked as one of the “least connected”cities in the U.S., is no exception.
DigitalC is a nonprofit technology social enterprise headquartered in Cleveland at the MidTown Tech Hive and its fixed wireless internet network currently reaches 23,500 households in the City of Cleveland.
As is the case in many urban areas, DigitalC’s customers live in areas where network infrastructure is poor or non-existent. These areas have been ignored historically by the incumbent service providers. As a result, there are no fiber optic lines to tap into to facilitate the delivery of broadband internet to homes in these areas.
“The Phoenix Village Project is a great example of how we can leverage mmWave technology in the middle and last mile to provide ultra-high speeds to the end customer at an affordable price without having to trench to build fiber,” said Rolando Alvarez, DigitalC’s Director of Technology. “Using Siklu in this deployment we are able to provide Gbps speeds with an average latency of 2ms back to our Core.”
