    Bringing wireless connectivity to rural America: Case studies on rural wireless challenges

    24 million Americans don’t have access to high speed internet.

    39% of rural America is downloading at speeds that hit 0.61Mbps, making navigating even basic websites near impossible. With the amount of funding that is going into 5G, why isn’t all of America connected at broadband speeds?

    Tier 1 service providers aren’t breaking ground on fiber networks in rural America due to the cost. Digging cable to a municipality that’s miles off the interstate, with a population of 5000, just doesn’t make economic sense.

    This case study presents the cost and performance of fixed wireless access technologies in Kit Carson County, rural America.
