Lend Your Support for Innovative Connectivity in Tucson

Reliable connectivity is more important today than ever before. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have transitioned to working from home and our children are learning remotely rather than in-person. Reliable connectivity is essential for people to connect to their friends, family, colleagues and government services. All of this is only possible in areas that have a robust and reliable communications network. Like Tucson, communities across the country are recognizing the importance of wireless infrastructure to connect kids to the classroom, power the local economy, and provide government and healthcare services. It also allows doctors to see their patients via video conferencing. The digital economy is rapidly changing, and the City of Tucson can be at the forefront of these advancements.

5G can help facilitate essential connectivity and take it to the next level. Imagine students and faculty at all grade levels, including at University of Arizona, having the ability to "interact" with atoms from their virtual classroom using VR/AR technology or medical professionals at Banner — University Medical Center Tucson leveraging 3-D scans to better treat patients. But 5G isn't just the next "G" in your phone — it's a societal game-changer on par with the advent of electric power a century ago.

And just like a century ago, 5G's greatest breakthroughs have yet to be imagined.

Ultra-fast wireless service and infrastructure can help facilitate essential connectivity and take it to the next level. Mobile technology is reshaping the way we live and do business, and 5G is a fundamental platform for its continued innovation. This next generation of wireless infrastructure will facilitate an entirely new type of home broadband service and could give Tucson residents and businesses a new option for reliable high-speed internet access. This type of connectivity is expected to completely transform transportation and public safety. Automated and connected vehicles and transportation infrastructure will make traffic safer and move more smoothly. New augmented and virtual reality systems could help first responders, police officers, and firefighters protect our community, and more broadly, our way of life. All of this is possible in communities that have a robust and reliable communications network.

To build momentum and expand this cutting-edge technology to more residents and businesses throughout the city, it's important your leaders see letters of support from community members like you.

Greater coverage and capacity will help ensure our future is connected so tell Tucson officials to help expand this wireless infrastructure rollout to open up new ways for our community to live, learn, work, and play.
