Residential Internet |
| Cambria Connected is the only operational rural
wireless broadband internet service in Pennsylvania.
The authorized Internet Service Providers (ISP’s)
are locally owned and operated , so in addition to
creating jobs, customers receive personal service
from local businesses. Supporting Cambria Connected supports local workers and helps create jobs. A portion of the monthly service fee goes to the County to help maintain the Cambria Connected/911 Network, which reduces monthly operational costs. The speeds for internet access are true as advertised and the fees for service are straightforward. The system is feature rich, comparable in price to other service providers, and is continuously being expanded, upgraded, and supported. Cambria Connected consists of 17 core towers (two more in 2010) and predominately uses line of sight radios. This means the radios must have a clear view to the tower, no obstructions. There are WiFi units providing wireless internet access at 27 hotspots throughout the county. WiFi will grow to 50 hotspots over the next year. Your service provider will have more information on this service. The Cambria Connected Network is HIPPA compliant (Hospital Use) and E Rate Certified (Educational/School/Government Use). |
