In today’s episode, we’re joined by Curtis Hill, Network Deployment Manager at Open Broadband, to discuss a recent Wi-Fi deployment across 14 underserved parks in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Curtis takes us through the details of this project, which leverages Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 6, and we chat about the impressive uptick in usage, even before the full installation was completed. Curtis also shares how quickly the team is able to get these hotspots up and running and the logistics behind covering a large area, with some parks featuring multiple access points. We also talk about user engagement stats—anywhere from 50 to 60 people online at once—and Curtis gives us a sneak peek into what’s next for future broadband deployments in the region. Tune in to learn more about this impactful project and how it’s helping bridge the digital divide.
