Adelaide, Australia Joins Three US Cities in US Ignite Smart Gigabit Communities

Three US and one Australian city joined the US Ignite Smart Gigabit Communities Program, the federal public-private non-profit partnership announced Sept 26. Adelaide, Australia became Smart Gigabit Communities’ first international partner, joining Albuquerque (NM), Salisbury (NC), and Washington (DC). An initial set of 15 US communities joined in the launch of the Smart Gigabit Communities initiative in June with the goal of creating a network that encompasses gigabit networks and smart city technology. Each Smart Gigabit Community will develop two advanced technology solutions that include gigabit network or gigabit public services applications. Those will be shared with other participants.
