Closing the Digital Divide in Chicago Parks

The Chicago Parks District faced significant connectivity challenges, as many parks had slow, outdated networks or lacked Wi-Fi access altogether. As visitors increasingly expected fast internet for social sharing, booking activities, and staying connected, the district needed a high-performance solution to meet this demand. Installing fiber-optic cables wasn’t practical, given the high costs, delays, and disruptions involved in laying cables across these busy public spaces. CPA needed a faster, more affordable solution to keep up with modern expectations.

With Ceragon’s Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology, the Chicago Parks District overcame these hurdles—bringing gigabit-speed Wi-Fi to its parks with minimal disruptions and significant cost savings. Now, visitors and vendors alike enjoy seamless connectivity that enhances experiences and streamline operations.
