Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 25, 2026

The agenda includes “Fiber Service to Barlow’s Landing Cell Tower – Possible FWA,” indicating Bourne is exploring extending fiber to a specific cell tower and potentially using fixed wireless access (FWA) from that location. This suggests a need for network design, construction, and wireless deployment options to improve local connectivity. There is no mention of an RFP or selected provider, so the project appears to be in exploratory or early planning stages.This creates an opportunity for fiber construction firms, wireless ISPs, and network engineering consultants to propose technical designs, cost models, and implementation strategies. A useful vendor conversation would focus on route options, capacity requirements, FWA coverage modeling, and how the project could integrate with broader broadband and digital equity goals in Bourne.

The project may tie into regional broadband and grant-funded efforts also referenced in the agenda.
