How does Idaho’s geography and your location affect high-speed internet access & reliability?
Idaho has a vast and variable terrain.
It’s easy to live in a location with a particularly high, or low, elevation. Maybe you live somewhere surrounded by trees…or in an open field. You may live close to Boise (metropolitan area population of 864,000 people) or Murphy (96 people).
We’re used to it because we live it every day. But the truth is…if variety is the spice of life, we sure are spicey here in Idaho!
All of this drastically impacts the internet options available to you.
It’s all about geography.
Because of the terrain, you need a wireless internet provider with a strategic network of towers. Having few towers would mean that a hill or similar obstruction can stop internet services from reaching you – especially if you’re located in a rural setting.
We here at White Cloud Networks have invested heavily in our region – with 75 towers in our network. Not 75 towers across the United States – 75 towers across just Southern Idaho & Northern Nevada!
Additionally, our investment in Tarana equipment is the latest in wireless internet technology. It’s designed to reduce interference and deliver fiber-speed internet right over the air.
Bridging the Digital Divide
These investments have been made to help us bridge the digital divide for many thousands of people across Southern Idaho, from Glenns Ferry, down to Elko (NV) and all the way to Idaho Falls. Choosing to live out of town where there’s a little more room to breathe shouldn’t mean you have to settle for second-rate internet that can’t keep up with your daily life.
Our big investment in creating rural access to great internet will continue, and we’re looking forward to announcing projects in the future as we continue to grow across our amazing region.
Get connected, even in rural areas.
If you need internet in Southern Idaho, we’re here to help. We’re able to provide great internet even if you’re “out in the boonies.” Call us today at (208) 736-2960.
