The City of Manhattan Beach is conducting a Broadband Study to understand current availability and future needs within our community. Since the early 2000s, the evolution of fiber optic infrastructure and wireless communication technologies has created an environment of high speed, and reliable communications. Next generation technologies are constantly on the horizon, and the City of Manhattan Beach is exploring what will be the next steps for evolving the City’s fiber infrastructure. Creating a network infrastructure that serves the community’s best interests while maintaining the small-town beach environment will be an important component of modernizing the City’s broadband infrastructure while maintaining the integrity of our local beach community culture.
