Telkonet and Broadband Horizons Deliver Broadband Internet Access to Hurricane Katrina Evacuees
Broadband Horizons was approached by BellNET, a non-profit organization providing technology services in Bell County, Texas, to set up the Internet access for this processing center. A Weiner's department store in an abandoned shopping center was transformed into a location providing shelter, day-care, a message board, and above all else, a processing center. The Telkonet iWire System(TM) was installed, functional, and ready to go in just 12 minutes, enabling secure broadband Internet access to every electrical outlet within the center. As a result, a mobile lab was set up with laptop computers for Katrina evacuees to use, as well as the Social Security Administration, the American Red Cross, and the Texas Veteran's Commission, along with various health and county government organizations.
