Fort Lauderdale’s Next Step Toward Digital Equity — Powered by Slice Wireless

Access to wireless Internet is no longer a luxury; it is essential for work, school, healthcare, and city services. That is why the City of Fort Lauderdale approved a pilot with Slice Wireless Solutions to expand connectivity for underserved residents in the Durrs neighborhood. This effort is a push to use existing light pole infrastructure to support a wireless broadband pilot that helps bridge the digital divide.

At the core of Slice’s approach is WiSNET™, a patented platform built to centrally manage networks and “slice” bandwidth policies by user, group, or device. Supporting secure, high-performance WiFi while enabling data visibility and strong governance. For municipalities and venues, WiSNET can also support a cost recovery network model through captive portals and tiered services; helping fund free access initiatives without sacrificing control.

Whether the goal is permanent wifi for neighborhoods, large area wifi for corridors and parks, or temporary wireless for events and pop up deployments, Slice designs networks that scale.
