THE PROBLEM

Communication isn’t guaranteed anymore.

• Dead zones across Marietta and Cobb County
• No reliable communication during outages
• Families and operators left disconnected

Storms. Power outages. Off-road trips.
When signal drops — you’re on your own.

WHAT WE’RE BUILDING

This project is focused on building real, reliable communication infrastructure for Cobb County and surrounding areas.
