Fort Worth, TX Neighborhood Wi-Fi Program Connect Residents

The city's Neighborhood Improvement Program identified five neighborhoods with limited Internet access. Fort Worth, Cisco, and Presidio affixed networking equipment to utility poles for up to 90% saturation in each area. CFW Neighborhood Wi-Fi acts as a bridge between the low-connectivity past and future adoption of full-fiber connectivity. City officials used CARES Act and ARPA funding for a program that reaches two-thirds of the 60,000 residents without home Internet access.
