City manager resource
Municipal Wi-Fi, without the municipal burden.
A one-page guide to launching BEAD-funded public Wi-Fi without adding capital expense or overloading municipal IT.
The city manager brief
You won BEAD funding. The next step should not become a new department-wide problem.
Anaptyx CivicConnect keeps the public network separate, managed, and accountable so residents get reliable access while city staff keep their focus on the work already in front of them.
No upfront capital expense
Hardware and installation are capitalized. The city pays a flat, BEAD-eligible operating fee, without a bond or capital vote.
Compliance is carried with the service
FCC and BDC reporting, speed tests, uptime logs, affordability documentation, and remediation are managed as part of the work.
What the city receives
Public access that is ready to launch and ready to answer for itself.
- Live service in 30 to 45 daysMove from decision to a working public network without a drawn-out rollout.
- Less than 30 minutes per month from staffKeep municipal involvement clear and limited.
- Quarterly, audit-ready documentationMaintain a usable record of service and compliance activity.
- Service aligned to BEAD 100/20 Mbps requirementsBuild operations around the standard the project must meet.
- Hardware refresh includedKeep the network current across the length of the program.
For the council conversation
Straight answers for the questions that slow decisions down.
- “IT is already overwhelmed.”
- That is the point. The public network is isolated from internal systems and managed as a distinct service.
- “What is the catch with zero upfront?”
- There is no surprise capital expense. Hardware is capitalized and the city pays a BEAD-eligible operating fee.
- “Who owns the 10-year responsibility?”
- Anaptyx CivicConnect supports the documentation, monitoring, and remediation that keep the service accountable over time.
