The OpenCape project will soon receive $50,000 in funding from the Barnstable County Commissioners and the Cape Cod Economic Development Council. The funds will be used to develop a regional wireless network stretching across Cape Cod that addresses both public safety and economic enterprise needs.
The network consists of a public network for high-speed wireless service to higher education and K-12 public school districts, as well as individual municipalities, libraries, healthcare institutions, and emergency facilities. In addition, the network will be accessible to residents and businesses.
This project represents another important step as Cape Cod continutes it's transition from being known as just a resort and retirement area to a full-time residential and business region.
