PROJECT UPDATES
Schley Tower : We’ve completed all the tower owner process steps, and received final clearance from the FAA on our frequency use. The county permit application in is process, and once done, we expect to start installations in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for further updates.
Cedar Grove Farms: Equipment arrived for the projects on Efland Cedar Grove Rd and the Lloyd’s Dairy Barn on Hwy 70 in Efland. Silo installations are scheduled to start next week and we expect to be installing customers shortly thereafter.
The Cedar Grove Farms location will give us additional coverage in the lower Lake Orange area and in the area of Governor Scott Rd. The northern part of the Lake will begin after the Cedar Grove silo is completed and will cover the western and eastern side of the peninsula.
The Lloyd’s Dairy Barn will provide coverage to the southern area of Brookhollow Rd and points east and south of that and also along Hwy 70 heading west.

You will be contacted once fixed-wireless service is available
Once service is available at your address, we will contact you to schedule a signal test to ensure sufficient wireless signal for broadband.
Once the signal level is confirmed we’ll set up an in-home installation appointment. A team of installers will set up the system, attaching an antenna to the exterior of your house in addition to an interior gateway device.
If we have not contacted you that means service is not available yet. Please be patient and we will contact you when we can schedule your address. We will provide as much advance notice as possible.
If your neighbors have not joined the signup list, encourage them to do so.
We’ve expanded our Team
We’re pleased to welcome Ian and Clint to our field operations team. You may meet them as they are performing signal tests and performing installation.

A big Thank You to all of our customers in Orange County! This is a long journey to build a new network from scratch, using fixed-wireless technology in a challenging terrain. We believe everyone deserves access to broadband speeds and our small company is doing our part to fill in gaps where the 50-100 year old large companies have not implemented.
Thank you for your patience and support, while we continue to develop solutions to provide High Speed Broadband to your area and we look forward to serving many more of you throughout the year.
A Reminder Message from Open Broadband concerning COVID-19
Staying connected even when apart
COVID-19 has brought many changes to our communities, affecting the ways we live, work and interact. But throughout these changes, one thing has stayed constant: Our determination to serve you and your internet needs in a safe manner.
Working in your community
As one of the many essential services responding to this national emergency, our work continues – even in those areas with stay-at-home ordinances. You may still see some of our field technicians working in and around your neighborhood. Their work is helping to ensure that residential communities, businesses and critical facilities have the internet they need throughout this time.
As a precaution, if you do see our workers, please avoid approaching them and their work areas. If there is a need to speak with them, be aware that they will be maintaining at least 6 feet of separation. We’ll also be keeping this recommended distance anytime direct interaction for essential services is required on customer properties, inside homes and businesses, consistent with CDC and other public health guidelines.
