Goal
At the start of COVID, the “digital divide” that existed in the city became very apparent with many households lacking the WiFi access necessary to allow their children to participate in remote school activities. The city needed to provide support; however, it lacked the funds.
Quantela Solutions
Quantela worked with the City to initially implement and centrally monitor 10 Public WiFi access points across eight Federal Opportunity zones, with the long-term goal of implementing 160 access points along with revenue-generating digital advertising kiosks to help fund the project.
Quantela Outcomes Delivered
Given the positive impact these solutions had on citizens and businesses, the city received $40 million in investments and a $500,000 grant post deployment along with sustainable revenue generation to be reinvested in the community to further improve quality of life and learning for school children.
