Description:

Cape Cod and the Southeastern Massachusetts Region have inadequate communications infrastructure in both backhaul transport and “last mile” access options. OpenCape Corporation will create and operate a regional wholesale digital backhaul communications network (TRANSPORT network). This network will provide reliable, redundant, and secure backhaul communications for public and commercial access networks on Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. The network will support open access and promote competition. It will provide access directly to emergency evacuation sites, school districts, municipal governments, public health facilities, and libraries. The network will also support business and residential access, to be provided by WISPs.
