“SmartWave’s wireless and video expertise, along with their methodical approach, proved successful in repairing a highly complex wireless video network failed by various contractors. Their efforts lead to a functioning and reliable network that is making a difference in enhancing safety in the city.”

Oscar Ixco, City of Los Angeles

“Broadband access is not a luxury, it is an essential tool that must be available for all of Texas. That is why I am making the expansion of broadband access an emergency item.”

Greg Abbot, Governor of Texas

“The continuous expansion of BLink increases the opportunities for our youth to learn beyond the classroom walls. This project is a great example of public/private partnership. Without the support of Google, Iowa West Foundation, and CBSD, Bluffs Community WiFi would not be possible.”

Matt Walsh, Mayor of Council Bluffs

“Al Brown is one of my favorite people. He is a key individual who shows their business sense and sense of community to build something great for the City. Working together, giving and taking, as we work together through challenges. By picking the right vendor, the City found someone who was both responsive and responsible – answer quickly and always do the right thing.”
