The Need

New residents have flocked to the central Alabama city of Helena in recent years to enjoy a small-town atmosphere just 20 miles from Birmingham. While it was able to retain its charms, though, it also kept its outdated communications infrastructure. City leadership needed a way to maintain and improve quality of life while keeping its residents safe and moving forward at lightning speed.
