Subject: How Vegas built an LTE network in 45 days, and what it
might do next
In December, at the height of the pandemic, the city of Las Vegas lit
up a fixed wireless network covering 65 square miles and offering
download speeds up to 35 Mbit/s. The city's initial goal was to
connect homebound students to their teachers in cases where they
might not have a home Internet connection.
Now, as pandemic restrictions ease, the city and its network vendors
are looking for ways to expand and improve the network in ways that
would position Las Vegas as a "smart city."
