Allendale Broadband Pilot Project Brings Fixed Wireless to South Carolina Community Posted on Share
Home » Allendale Broadband Pilot Project Brings Fixed Wireless to South Carolina Community
The South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS), in conjunction with several public and private entities, this week completed a pilot project that provides residential broadband to families with K-12 students and establishes public WiFi hubs in Allendale County. The public-private South Carolina project, known as the Allendale Broadband Pilot Porject, used fixed wireless technology to quickly connect families with K-12 students that previously did not have broadband available to them.
The goal of the pilot project, which began in November 2020, was to see how quickly wireless Internet infrastructure could be deployed using state assets.
