Until recently, municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives that wanted to provide high-speed internet access to customers faced insurmountable economic challenges: bridging the last mile was just too expensive. You felt obstructed in your ability to help communities cross the digital divide. Now, however, the application of highly reliable wireless network technology can help.

2. The Digital Divide is Real
¡ A quarter of the nation is
without broadband
¡ 53% of US rural population
lacks access to broadband
services of 25 Mbps/3 Mbps
¡ 58% of households with
incomes under $20,000 have
neither home broadband nor
mobile Internet access

3. Internet Access
¡ Basic connectivity to get online, check email, and
browse the web
Broadband
¡ Currently defined by the FCC as 25 Mbps download
and 3 Mbps upload speeds
Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
¡ A fiber-optic connection directly to the home
support speeds of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
Long-Term Evolution (LTE)
¡ LTE is a mobile standard for high-speed wireless
communication for mobile phones and data terminals
Fixed Wireless
¡ Connect two fixed locations (e.g., building-to-building
or tower-to-building) with a radio or other wireless link
at speeds of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
Understanding Connectivity Basics

4. Consumer Value of Mobile vs. Fixed Traffic
$6/Gigabyte
$.05/Gigabyte
At 100x more cost, the licensed mobile spectrum
approach to fixed Internet is not feasible.

5. Broadband is Essential in Today’s World
¡ Business
¡ Healthcare
¡ Education
¡ Entertainment
¡ Quality of life

6. Utilities and cooperatives helped connect
America for telephones and electricity.
Why not do it for broadband, too?

Hybrid Fiber-
Wireless

11. ¡ Wireless tech already 5X
faster than latest DSL
- Cities: Reliable at 250m
- Rural: Long range towers
¡ Leverages existing fiber
- Longer service range than
DSL reduces fiber depth
¡ Extend fiber with wireless
backhaul where necessary
