OSWEGO — Labette County commissioners on Aug. 18 agreed that Wave Wireless could access county property to install fiber internet service in the area.
Galen Manners, Wave Wireless’s owner, told commissioners he wanted to get internet service to a customer on Commercial Street. He said he could also make his high speed internet service available to county offices as a backup in case internet service is interrupted with the primary internet provider.
Emergency services generally need to have duplicate internet providers in case one of them experiences an outage.
Manners said the box would be enough to serve 12 buildings. In other business, commissioners discussed but didn’t act on a quote to livestream the county commission meetings. Commissioner Vince Schibi brought up the issue and had received a quote from Higher Calling Technologies of $15,498 to provide the technology to implement livestreaming commission meetings and another $3,096 for the subscription service.
