CAL.NET EXPANDS NETWORK REACH IN RURAL AREAS IN CALIFORNIA

Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), Cal.net Inc. is planning to expand its networks across the Galt, Winters and Woodland regions in California for increased speeds.

This expansion will ensure customers are given faster internet connections and speeds with no contracts. They plan to install more towers within these regions and combine them with their advanced network technology to achieve this objective.  Cal.net noticed that about 70 percent of the “most rural counties” were lacking in access to quality, quick internet service. Thus, they seek to help close the digital divide gap by investing into this project to assist in exploring various “educational and career opportunities” among other services provided.

“At Cal.net, we are committed to serving students, families, and businesses by providing quality Internet as affordable as possible to our community, even the hard to reach,” says Chief Technology Officer, Josh Rogers.

The company issued a release in October concerning this project. They sought to add up over 18,000 homes in Allendale and Vacaville region of California to their growing, up-to-date network coverage. This ensured a delivery of quality internet and furthering customer reach.

“To further close the digital divide, Cal.net is a participant in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) which provides low-income households with discounted monthly internet service, as well as discounts on laptops, tablets and desktop computers. Customers can learn more about the Affordable Connectivity Program by visiting [their website] to determine if they qualify. The program offers up to a $30/month discount on internet and up to a $75/month discount on qualifying tribal lands,” concludes the statement.
