Challenge: Fulshear is a rapidly growing City just outside of Houston. With rapid growth, the need for a broadband strategy was imperative. The Fulshear broadband and 5G planning needs included:
- ROW Management
- Ubiquitous coverage
- Internal City broadband needs
- Economic Development needs
- 5G and Smart City preparations
- The ability to participate in and manage opportunities to extend broadband infrastructure.
City leadership wanted to begin by understanding the current Fulshear broadband issues.
Solution: HR Green assisted the City by surveying citizens and businesses, meeting with public and private stakeholders, and reviewing their current policies. With a baseline of information provided by HR Green, the City is taking the next steps of defining a Fiber Master Plan, developing goals and vision for broadband in the community, and finding consensus on the City’s role in their broadband infrastructure.
