The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) has received a 2020 Crown Communities Award for its South Bay Fiber Network (SBFN), a dedicated fiber-optic network connecting the South Bay region’s city halls and other local and regional public agencies with high-speed, low-cost broadband connectivity.
Each year, the news site American City & County presents its Crown Communities Award to municipal and county governments that have implemented innovative projects over the preceding 18 months.
The SBFN provides the critical infrastructure for South Bay Cities to adopt “smart city” applications. The new broadband infrastructure provides an essential public asset and resource to city governments as they manage economic viability during the COVID-19 pandemic and it creates opportunities to bridge the “digital divide” in communities underserved with broadband.
