AT&T, University of North Texas, Bigbelly partner on campus connectivityIndustry Announcements, , 5/24/2022
NEEDHAM, Mass. – The University of North Texas, AT&T, and Bigbelly have teamed up to enhance the campus community wireless experience using the innovative multi-purpose Telebelly offering. This past Fall, AT&T installed an outdoor small cell system at the Denton campus which resulted in enhanced connectivity for students, faculty, and visitors, and better capacity to power the newest 5G and LTE experiences. Hosted by Bigbelly's Telebelly small cell siting solution, this is North America's first Telebelly deployment at a major University. Through this collaboration, AT&T is now able to offer increased network robustness, and multi-gigabit speeds all while utilizing minimum physical space and on a platform that additionally benefits the campus community with additional Smart Waste and Recycling capacity. Campuses and solution providers share the challenge of how and where to deploy small cell, broadband, and other information and communication technology ("ICT") infrastructure in public spaces without additional clutter. By design, Bigbelly Smart Waste and Recycling stations are located where people locate; which is where wireless demands are generally the greatest. The Telebelly platform, which can either utilize existing Bigbelly or greenfield locations, is easy to access and hides technology in plain sight. Most importantly, the platform enables better wireless experiences exactly where people congregate the most. |

11:00 a.m. New York / 4:00 p.m. London The digital divide in North America is leaving millions without adequate broadband. Incumbents operate in “islands” of connectivity, serving densely populated areas and, at a national scale, perpetuating the digital divide in the gaps in between their service footprints. Regional ISPs have a clear role in closing that gap. These regional ISPs operate in a highly fragmented landscape, including smaller wireless and FTTH incumbents, satellite ISPs, electric co-ops, tribal communities, and municipalities in public/private partnerships. These regional ISPs face the same cyber threats and operational challenges as their Tier 1 counterparts, but with far fewer resources and revenue-generating population density. As a result, many regional ISPs have developed highly innovated business models for access and core technology, partnerships, financing and services. The discussion will cover:
