WiFi – Growth on the WiFi network continues at a steady pace. We are continuing to make optimizations and improvements to the network infrastructure as necessary to maintain acceptable levels of performance. A letter will be going out in this Month’s water bill news letter to let the subscribers know about the $5 rate increase coming up in April.
Rural Wireless – We are still seeing a fairly good response to our marketing efforts in the rural area.
Fiber to the Home – No new updates from i3. We are exploring alternatives for a FTTH solution for existing neighborhoods in case that agreement falls through.
We met with a consulting firm this week to begin the process of creating design standards for the FTTH in newly developed neighborhoods. We are also working with that same consultant on a deployment design for the Snowberry development.
Business Fiber – Construction continues on our new business fiber extensions. We are anticipating having service up in a few more months.
IT Department
We have devoted a lot of time this month to migrating remaining users at the Police Department to the virtual desktop environment. The challenges we faced last month with hardware failure and software issues in the virtual environment have been overcome. All is back to normal at this point.
