LOOKING FOR AN INTERNET CONNECTION? FREE HOT SPOT AT TOWN HALL

UPDATE 8/3/2020 - As of today, there are three 8' picnic tables located on the Town Hall property for you to use when connecting to WiFi.  Photos attached below.  

Sandisfield has a free open internet connection available at the Town Hall located at 66 Sandisfield Rd.  

The network signal can be picked up, from the convenience of your car, in the parking lot to the right of the Town Hall building. This free service is available from now through September 1 or until the MA State of Emergency ends.  

Depending on the type of device you have, you will see one or two open network connections. No password is required.  

• Everyone should see:  Sandisfield Open Wifi

• Those with newer mobile devices will see Sandisfield Open Wifi and Sandisfield Open Wifi_5Ghz, with the later having a bit faster connection. 

The Town was able to obtain this service as a result of a special program offered to communities that do not have a completed last mile broadband network. Massachusetts Broadband institute and KCST USA, the operator of the MassBroadband 123 network, launched a program to support unserved communities. KCST provided a free circuit to Crocker Communications (ISP) which the Town is now utilizing for a temporary wireless hotspot.

Employees and students who must work and learn remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic are welcome to use this location. Proper social distancing is necessary. Please note, the town hall is currently open by appointment only. 

Thank you Michael Baldino, Jeff Bye, and Aaron Clark for all your guidance and wisdom.
