Wireless Broadband Network Build is Underway

Despite international and national supply chain issues, fixed wireless broadband equipment is arriving, and the network build is underway. Open Broadband, LLC is currently working on the first phase of the local project in both Mathews and Gloucester Counties, outfitting towers with antennas, receivers, and other new technology to help meet distance and speed goals for the internet service.

Here, Judy Rowe, Chair of the Mathews Broadband Advisory Board; Eric Beach, Gloucester’s Director of Information Technology, and Noah Davila, Open Broadband Area Manager are shown discussing the different pieces of equipment. The residential antennas that will be affixed to a home are as small as 11’’x11’’, shown at the top left by Mr. Beach.

Severe Weather Possible Today

Please be weather-aware especially into the late afternoon and evening today. According to the US National Weather Service Wakefield VA:
• Showers and thunderstorms will impact the area Friday afternoon and evening. Strong to severe storms and localized flooding will be possible.
• Localized damaging wind gusts and an isolated tornado will be the main threats with the strongest storms.
