Advanced Broadband

Warrick County sees broadband as mandatory infrastructure for the 21st Century. We believe access to advanced broadband is a competitive advantage for our residents, students, and businesses. It is a a key factor driving future technologies. In order to bring this connectivity to Warrick County that otherwise might be years away, Warrick County took the proactive step to seek out proposals to build out a county-wide advanced fiber network.

This network has two main pieces, fiber and wireless.

FIBER BACKBONE PROJECT

FIBER BACKBONE PROJECT - Mainstream Fiber Networks

105 Mile Fiber Backbone
- Connects every town, school, library, hospital, town hall, and county facilities across Warrick County
Capacity
- 1 GB residential (non-rural)
- 10GB in schools and government facilities
- 100GB in the certain Business Districts
Symmetrical - same upload & download speeds
Fiber is considered "future proof" to handle the speed of tomorrow's innovations
Fully ringed fiber for reliability and redundancy
Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Fiber to the business (FTTB) provides fiber right into the building and not just to the neighborhood or curb

WIRELESS PROJECT

Through research and proposals, River City Wireless (a local Warrick County business) was chosen to implement more wireless coverage

Fixed wireless broadband is a method of delivering Internet connection to consumers over the airwaves.
