Cape Abilities Farm

For OpenCape, 2025 was defined by a single mission: ensuring that our community is never limited by its connectivity. Throughout Cape Cod, Southeastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, we saw a significant shift as more organizations moved away from legacy systems in favor of locally supported, 100% fiber infrastructure. From critical public safety facilities to the small businesses that form the heart of our downtowns, these new connections represent a region that is future-ready.


Critical Infrastructure & Public Safety


SouthCoast Health
SouthCoast Health

Reliability isn't just a luxury; for many of our 2025 partners, it is a requirement for public health and safety. We were proud to provide the backbone for essential services that keep our towns running.


  • Healthcare: SouthCoast Health and Veterinary Wellness Center of Provincetown.

  • Water & Utilities: Mashpee Wastewater Treatment Facility & Pump Stations, Barnstable Fire District Water Dept, and Eastham Water Dept.

  • Municipal Operations: Provincetown Harbor Master, Truro Beach Operations, and Falmouth Waste Management.

  • Public Resources: Eastham Council on Aging and the libraries of Osterville, West Falmouth, and South Dennis.


Powering Innovation and Education


To keep our region competitive, we must provide our schools and research firms with the same level of bandwidth found in major tech hubs.


  • Academic Growth: Bristol Warren Regional School District (RI) and the new Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational-Technical High School.

  • Research & Creative: Hydra Scientific LLC (Falmouth) and Triiodide Studios (Osterville).


Spotlight: Business & Commercial Wins

From hospitality to finance, these organizations chose OpenCape for reliability, symmetrical speeds and local accountability:



Expanding Residential & Multi-Dwelling Access


We continue to expand high-capacity fiber access to multi-dwelling residential buildings, helping ensure residents have reliable connectivity for work, learning, and everyday needs.


  • 328 Bank Street (Harwich)

  • Hanover Pine Hills (Plymouth)


Main Street Density: Powering Our Downtown Hubs


One of the most exciting trends of 2025 was the growth of our "Main Street" fiber clusters. By bringing enterprise-grade fiber into downtown centers like Hyannis, Buzzards Bay, and Falmouth, we are supporting a diverse ecosystem of independent businesses and residents.


Professional, Financial & Media Services


These organizations rely on symmetrical speeds for large data transfers, cloud-based collaboration, and client communications.


Dining & Hospitality


Consistent, high-speed connectivity is essential for modern point-of-sale systems, guest WiFi, and back-of-house operations.


Retail & Specialty Services

Fiber isn't just for tech companies, it’s the backbone for local retailers and service providers who need reliable uptimes.



Community, Culture & Residential


OpenCape provides the critical bandwidth that powers our region's historical sites and supports the high-capacity infrastructure needed for strategic residential clusters in our downtown centers.


  • Cape Cod Maritime Museum – Hyannis, MA

Looking Ahead to 2026


Every connection we made in 2025 reinforces the digital backbone of our region. As we head into 2026, OpenCape remains committed to expanding this resource, ensuring that every school, business, and municipality has the tools they need to thrive.
