Wireless Options for Anchor Institutions

Which technology is right for your community?

Wireless technologies have bounded forward in the last three years, achieving higher capacity speeds and greater reliability than ever before. Schools, libraries, and healthcare providers now have many more wireless options, but the alphabet soup of technologies can be daunting. Furthermore, each community must consider the technology that is best suited to its local market.

This session will demystify the differences between TV White Spaces, Educational Broadband Service (EBS), Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), Long-Term Evolution, 5G, fixed wireless and Super Wi-Fi. Attendees will learn practical information about which services satisfy their local needs.
