WTC Completes Community-Wide Public Wi-Fi Project in Manhattan (KS)

WTC Fiber has completed a major community-wide public Wi-Fi initiative that expands free, reliable internet access at parks, recreation facilities, nonprofit organizations, public service agencies and other gathering places throughout Manhattan and Riley County (KS). The project includes 124 Wi-Fi access points and represents an investment of more than $830,000 in local connectivity and digital access. The network is designed to make dependable internet service more readily available to residents and visitors, particularly in locations where people gather, learn, work, and access community services. Funding for the project was awarded through the Advancing Digital Opportunities to Promote Technology program, administered by the Kansas Office of Broadband Development. Matching support was provided by WTC Fiber, the City of Manhattan, Riley County, and benefactors of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation.
