PORTLAND, MAINE – VETRO, a software company delivering unparalleled internet infrastructure intelligence™ through a unique mapping platform, is pleased to announce the second cohort of participants in its VETRO Cares for Maine program. VETRO Cares is dedicated to accelerating community initiatives to bring high-speed broadband to residents and businesses in their home state by providing access to its industry-leading broadband intelligence platform featuring software, services, and data tailor-made for public sector broadband project planning and asset management.
The local broadband initiatives included in Cohort 2 are the Town of Rome, the Town of Northport, Greater East Grand Region Broadband, Mount Desert, Southwest Waldo County Broadband Coalition, Mid-Coast Internet Coalition, and the Town of Sebago.
“There is nothing more exciting to me personally than to be able to apply the technology that VETRO has built to improving internet connectivity in my home state of Maine,” said Will Mitchell, VETRO Co-founder and CEO. “We want to enable towns all around the state to jump the line to future-proof fiber networks. That level of connectivity will allow communities, businesses, and residents to thrive in our new digital economy.”
Through the VETRO Cares program, all participants receive a six-month subscription to the VETRO Fibermap platform, training and ongoing user support, and broadband planning and design capabilities with access to mission-critical state and federal data sets.
