WiFi – We are in the middle of testing some new methods of utilizing our existing WiFi network inside city limits to gain some additional performance out of the system without a major investment into upgrades. So far the results are promising and we feel that we can likely keep performance up while we await the deployment of the fiber network.

Rural Wireless – We are continuing to work with property owners in a few locations to install additional wireless infrastructure in the rural area. We are also continuing to install customers that can access our existing tower infrastructure.

Fiber to the Home – At this point i3 is still on schedule to begin construction of the FTTP network this spring. They anticipate having survey crews in Sandy starting in January to begin finalizing the design process. We are continuing to explore options for video service once the new network is built. Staff will be proposing some options to the SandyNet Advisory Board this week to get some further direction on which route to pursue.

Business Fiber – We are working with several business customers up the mountain that are interested in getting access to fiber service. This is made possible due to the County’s new fiber network that they have constructed. As a partner in their project we have the ability to utilize their network to deliver service to these businesses.
