A first gateway is now operational in the CRC, covering the southern part of Blacksburg but for now is a simple indoor installation. Plans for getting it outdoors are in progress. Once that is done, we'll perform a first site survey.

Plans for a second gateway to cover the northern part of Blacksburg are in the works, stay tuned.

If you have access to a great location in Blacksburg where you could host a gateway consider purchasing one or get in touch and we will consider partnering with you to extend the city's coverage.
