Tribal Broadband Bootcamps Announced for 2023

Date: 1 Dec 2022 | posted in: MuniNetworks | 0 Facebooktwitterredditmail

The Tribal Broadband Bootcamps, which have worked with 20 Tribes and more than 100 participants over the past 2 years, offering hands-on training in wireless and fiber-optic networks, will continue in 2023 with an expanded schedule and expanded curriculum.

Tribal Broadband Bootcamps are planned by Matt Rantanen and our own Christopher Mitchell as part of the Indigenous Connectivity Institute at Connect Humanity. Additional events will be announced in coming months, but the first event will be hosted by Gila River in January. Hoopa Valley will be hosting one in May. Additional events are planned in March and June and will continue over the course of the year. More information on the bootcamps can be found in this two page pdf explainer.
