Wireless Broadband Innovators: Anchors and Home

 

Wireless broadband technology has developed to the point that it is able to provide affordable broadband access to the home, often through the community’s anchor institutions.  This panel will explore the recent developments in using unlicensed “white spaces” to offer broadband service with libraries, and a commercial company’s experience in delivering wireless broadband to serve community needs.
