Connected Infrastructure in Shelby County, Texas
Broadband access refers to the infrastructure that enables a high-speed internet connection. There are two primary types of broadband connections: fixed and mobile.

Fixed broadband is delivered to a user via several technology platforms including cable, digital subscriber line (DSL) over phone line, fiber optics, and fixed wireless. Fixed broadband is designed for stationary use at a fixed location such as a home, business, or intuition. With a location, however, fixed broadband service is often broadcast as a Wi-Fi network to connect nearby devices.

The following is an interactive map where you can see where broadband is offered in your community.
