(KNZA)--As plans were finalized for the renovation of a barn on the former Klinefelter property east of Hiawatha into a conference center, Highland Community College officials began working with Rainbow Communications to get high capacity internet access.
Since Rainbow did not have a tower in the near vicinity, not only could they not get high speed access, they could not get access at all. Working together, the two entities arrived at a solution that will benefit both and also other residents in the area.
Rainbow ended up constructing a tower on the southwest corner of the Klinefelter Farm, located at 1774 230th Road.
Constructing the tower provided two opportunities - for HCC, a fiber-to-the-barn internet connection and for Rainbow, the ability to offer fixed-wireless internet service to rural residents in the area.
College President David Reist says to effectively host conferences they needed high speed internet service, and now they have it.
