Collaborative, Connected Communities.

Community Area Networks (CANs), connect communities through a robust, shared data network infrastructure data network. With a high-speed, fiber optic backbone, CANs boost community-based services, make the public sector more efficient and stimulate growth in the private sector. The team at MCE has the resources and expertise necessary for educating and empowering forward-thinking communities who need robust, reliable, and affordable network access.

United People. Ignited Network.

People with shared interests and a common vision are at the heart of every successful community area network. Almost every CAN is formed through public and private partnerships, a collaborative leadership model, and a focus on “the public good”. Municipalities, educational institutions, libraries, hospitals, nonprofits and technology providers all come together with the common goal of creating an innovative, future-proof communications network.

Start Small. Grow big.

Community area networks can appear to be daunting undertakings, but they do not have to be expansive and complex to be effective. In fact, most start as small point-to-point networks before scaling up and expanding out to a community-wide endeavor. Every CAN is different and needs to be tailor to the communities budget, performance needs, and overall goals.
