How North Texas Cities Are Taking Connectivity into Their Own Hands
With rising digital demands, municipal leaders aren’t waiting for big telecoms to deliver fiber—they’re building smarter networks now.
When Cities Outgrow Their Connectivity
Across North Texas, city IT leaders are facing a familiar problem: their communities are growing faster than their infrastructure. Between new housing developments, remote public workers, and the rise of digital city services, connectivity has become as essential as water or power.
But fiber-only buildouts can take years — and the big providers often focus their investments on high-density commercial zones first, leaving smaller municipalities to wait. For city leaders trying to modernize public safety systems, connect municipal buildings, or deliver WiFi to residents, “someday” simply isn’t good enough.
That’s why forward-thinking communities are taking matters into their own hands — building smarter networks with BelWave’s hybrid fixed wireless and fiber technology.
A Model for Smart Growth: The City of Mansfield
The City of Mansfield knew that keeping pace with growth required dependable, scalable connectivity. What began as a single link between City Hall and nearby facilities evolved into a citywide network reaching fire stations, the police department, and 10 public parks.
BelWave engineered a solution that combined fiber, fixed wireless, and data center hosting, allowing the city to deliver secure, high-speed WiFi to residents while maintaining control of its own network infrastructure.
Today, Mansfield’s municipal network powers everything from emergency services to family movie nights in the park — all with consistent uptime and local support.
“From connecting City Hall and fire stations to bringing WiFi to 10 public parks, they’ve delivered creative solutions to meet our evolving needs.”
— Todd Williams, CIO, City of Mansfield
Smarter Networks Start with Hybrid Thinking
For municipalities, the goal isn’t just fast internet — it’s resilience.
A hybrid network offers both:
- Fixed Wireless delivers speed and flexibility without the cost or delay of trenching fiber.
- Fiber anchors the system with high-capacity bandwidth and long-term scalability.
- Combined, they create a network that grows with the city and keeps critical services online, even when one path goes down.
BelWave’s approach also ensures data security and uptime, with all circuits monitored 24/7 by local technicians who understand the region’s infrastructure and geography. It’s a practical, future-ready model for municipal connectivity.
Real People. Reliable Connections. Remarkable Results.
What sets BelWave apart isn’t just technology — it’s teamwork.
Every BelWave municipal project starts with a conversation: understanding what the city needs, how it’s structured, and what its residents expect. Then, our local engineers design a solution that fits — not one that forces cities into a national carrier’s template.
That’s why cities like Mansfield trust BelWave. When a problem arises, they don’t open a ticket with an anonymous call center — they talk to real people who know their network inside and out.
Building the Connected Cities of Tomorrow
The next generation of North Texas communities won’t be defined by population size or skyline — but by how connected they are.
BelWave’s hybrid solutions give cities the power to take control of their digital future, improving efficiency, safety, and quality of life across every square mile.
Because when it comes to public service, reliable connections are the foundation of progress.
