Cityfi is a finalist in the Strong Cities, Strong Communities Economic Challenge, a competition sponsored by the City of Greensboro and the federal Economic Development Agency to find the best ideas for promoting economic growth in Greensboro.
The Request for Participation invites equipment makers and vendors, software developers and system integrators to participate in a series of field tests to evaluate Cityfi’s proposal of using the City of Greensboro’s existing infrastructure of fiber optic cable and Wi-Fi hotspots to distribute Wi-Fi as a public service into the city’s neighborhoods and business districts.
