Community Fiber Networks

Community Fiber Networks are locally managed high-speed internet systems that use fiber optic cables to deliver fast, reliable connectivity directly to residents and businesses. Unlike traditional providers that may rely on shared or slower connections, community networks are built and controlled by local organizations, often aiming to provide affordable, equitable access and improve digital inclusion within the community. They support modern online activities such as streaming, remote work, and smart city services by offering higher bandwidth and lower latency than conventional broadband options. Ultimately, these networks empower communities with better internet infrastructure tailored to their specific needs.
