FairlawnGig is excited to announce the building of a fiber ring for the public good in Summit County for use by the County’s criminal justice and public safety agencies.
The project will be funded from the CARES Act and will expand on Fairlawn’s existing fiber network and is critical as the COVID-19 pandemic restricts Summit County’s Public Safety capabilities.
The County CARES funding will be used to expand FairlawnGig to County and Akron municipal buildings that hold criminal justice proceedings or house inmates. The expansion will facilitate virtual court proceedings to increase the safety and security of law enforcement, court employees, inmates and the general public.
