Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted has issued the below statement following the announcement that Agile Network, in collaboration with RADWIN and Facebook, will be providing the City of Canton with a Fixed Wireless Access solution that will address the bandwidth and telecommunications infrastructure challenges in micropolitan areas. The system will enable rapid and cost-effective access to high-speed connectivity between 10 and 100 times faster than their existing connections. The following may be directly attributed to the Lt. Governor:

“Facebook and Agile are bringing a new technology into the world that advances our ability to connect people to information and to each other in a more robust and cost-effective way.

“The fact that this is happening in Canton is a strategic advantage for the city and our state. Through our InnovateOhio efforts, we hope to expand this across Ohio to connect people to high-speed internet who have previously been left behind.”
