"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Several years ago, Chattanooga unleashed a beast: A fiber-to-the-home network spanning 600 square miles with 1 Gigabit-per-second speed available to all businesses, residences, and public and private institutions. The network is the fastest in the nation — approximately 50 times the speed of homes in the rest of the U.S. It not only allows for the novelty of 30-second downloads of a 2-hour high-definition movie, but has the potential to revolutionize public safety and enable the city to implement smart grid technologies.
