unWired Broadband is proud to announce that we have launched a tower in Livingston, CA. Coming in at 195 feet tall, this is the 7th tower that unWired has launched so far in 2020. Over a year in the making, special thanks to Lee Wininger for leading the tower climbing crew on this launch. Our tower climbers are trained and tested quarterly for tower rescue. First responders do not have the capabilities to save a climber in case of emergency at height, so our team has to understand various rescue methods and be able to keep a calm, level head in times of crisis. The addition of a new tower in Livingston is the most recent expression of unWired’s continued commitment to providing fast & reliable Internet to those in rural and underserved areas throughout Central California. In the coming months, we look forward to making continued improvements to our existing network, as well as expanding our coverage area.
