AT&T and ITDRC Boost WiFi Connections at 70 Maine Locations

AT&T and the Information Technology Disaster Resource Center (ITDRC) are boosting connectivity in 70 Maine locations, expanding and upgrading WiFi technology at libraries, parks, schools, community centers, town halls and other locations across the state. ITDRC teams are currently making their way across Maine, working with local organizations to extend existing WiFi and upgrade aging technology. Technicians will make necessary equipment upgrades and adjustments to boost WiFi signal and extend service into parking lots and surrounding areas. To date, 57 of the 70 planned ITDRC sites have been completed. Locations of the upgrades extend across the state of Maine to dozens of communities. Of the 70 sites being serviced, the majority are at libraries in rural communities, with schools, town halls, community centers and more also included. In April 2021, AT&T committed $2 billion by 2024 to help bridge the digital divide, bringing affordable internet and opportunity to more Americans nationwide. The support for ITDRC and projectConnect in Maine is part of that financial pledge.
