PROBLEM
Poor Internet Connectivity
Merchants along Main Street in downtown Falmouth had long been consistently experiencing difficulties related to internet connectivity. At times, these local businesses suffered because they were unable to simply process credit card sales due to slow or intermittent internet.
OPPORTUNITY
Provide Businesses with Access to 100% Fiber Optic Network
As part of OpenCape's community-focused mission, we are always striving to create environments that will help businesses thrive. For the Falmouth Business Gigabit Pilot Program, we wanted to help attract and keep a variety of local businesses in Falmouth while revitalizing the Main Street corridor.
SOLUTION
Shared Internet Access via GPON
OpenCape built a Gigabyte Passive Optical Network (GPON) with single point to multipoint 100% fiber optic internet connection via passive optical splitters that offers higher downstream speeds. GPON requires minimal equipment for users while satisfying high-density areas and supporting triple play service (voice, data and IP video) at demanding usage rates.
Falmouth Business Gigabit Pilot Program
Through select Pilot Programs, OpenCape gives existing and new businesses the opportunity to connect reliably and affordably to OpenCape's 100% Fiber Optic Network. Pilot Programs allow OpenCape to test methods and best practices as well as to gauge consumer interest and satisfaction while continuing to support Town initiatives.
In 2018, a partnership was formed between the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce, the Falmouth EDIC (Economic Development and Industrial Corporation) and OpenCape to help Falmouth Main Street merchants. Together, they performed an extensive amount of development, planning and community outreach to establish the Falmouth Business Gigabit Pilot Program.
