Desha County was awarded a Arkansas Rural Connect Grant in the amount of $2,550,877 for Broadband service for the communities of Desha County Wednesday, September 16, 2020.
County Judge Richard Tindall worked with Aristotle Unified Communications (AUC) CEO Elizabeth Bowles to engineer a hybrid fiber-microwave network to serve the citizens of the county.
When completed, this new high speed Internet service will cover most of the county and bring much needed connectivity to the unserved and underserved citizens in the area.
M Ms Bowles and the AUC Team have begun preliminary activities to secure the vertical assets and equipment to get this network in place quickly!
