_Researchers at Cornell University are hard at work _creating the nation’s first statewide IoT network designed to bring internet access to more of New York’s citizens. The team will use a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) program to create a public IoT network across each of New York’s 62 counties.

The researchers estimate it will take three years using low-power-wide-area network (LPWAN) technology to deploy the network. Launched in partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE), the researchers hope this network will help to close the digital gap between the state’s rural and urban areas.
