The OpenCape Corporation Middle Mile Project intends to deploy 350 miles of fiber-optic and microwave broadband network to directly connect more than 70 anchor institutions, including 12 emergency shelters, 30 libraries, five colleges, six academic research facilities, and 18 town or public safety facilities. These anchors will receive 100 Mbps service, allowing them to support a wide range of economic, educational, public safety and healthcare-related applications. The project also expects to facilitate new or improved high-speed Internet access for the entire Cape Cod region, comprised of approximately 320,000 households, 62,000 businesses, and 520 anchor institutions, by enabling local Internet providers to connect to the project’s open network.
