The City of Adelanto today announced the successful completion of the initial deployment of patented wireless fiber technology by Peltbeam, Inc., a Newport Beach–based technology company. Utilizing proprietary WiFi repeater technology, Peltbeam delivers high-speed wireless connectivity to underserved and disadvantaged areas of the city without the need for costly and time-intensive fiber trenching, engineering, or permitting. This high-speed wireless technology represents a first-of-its-kind deployment in the United States and serves as a critical step toward closing the digital divide.
This initial deployment provides free outdoor wireless coverage across select public and residential areas. Identified using Peltbeam’s proprietary Pre-Deployment AI Maptool, installation sites in this phase include Adelanto City Hall, the Public Works building, the skate park, community center, and senior center adjacent to City Hall, and several surrounding neighborhoods. This rollout represents a significant and meaningful advancement in bridging the digital divide, ensuring that residents—regardless of income or location—have access to reliable high-speed internet in communities where traditional broadband infrastructure has been difficult or cost-prohibitive to implement. This effort is aligned with broader state and federal digital equity initiatives, including programs supported through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration under the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program and the Digital Equity Act, as well as California-led initiatives administered by the California Public Utilities Commission, including the California Advanced Services Fund and the State’s Broadband “Last Mile” investments.
Expanded connectivity at the community center will support digital programming, educational workshops, and access to online services for residents of all ages—further reinforcing equitable access to technology. At the senior center, reliable high-speed internet will enable seniors to stay connected with family, access telehealth services, and participate in virtual activities that enhance quality of life.
A standout feature of the deployment is the integration of solar-powered repeater nodes, demonstrating Peltbeam’s ability to extend wireless fiber capabilities to off-grid and energy-constrained environments. One such node has been installed at the skate park adjacent to City Hall. This multi-functional installation includes:
- A solar-powered street light to illuminate the skate park
- A 24-hour security camera to enhance public safety
- A Peltbeam wireless fiber node providing free outdoor internet access to park visitors
Importantly, this project was delivered at no cost to the City’s General Fund, reflecting a fiscally responsible approach to expanding critical digital infrastructure while directly advancing digital equity objectives consistent with state and federal funding priorities.
“This deployment showcases the power of Peltbeam’s AI cloud-based wireless fiber to rapidly and cost-effectively bring high-speed connectivity to communities that need it most,” said Shervin Odabaee, CEO of Peltbeam, Inc. “By combining innovative networking technology with sustainable energy solutions, we are enabling cities like Adelanto to leapfrog traditional infrastructure barriers. With the forward-thinking leadership of Mayor Gabriel Reyes, Peltbeam is proud to partner with the City of Adelanto to deliver transformative wireless infrastructure that expands connectivity, enhances public services, and lays the foundation for a smarter, more connected future.”
“The proposed next phase of the project will be discussed at the May 13 City Council meeting, and will include expanding the geographic footprint of outdoor wireless coverage, introducing indoor connectivity solutions for select communities, and further strengthening Adelanto’s commitment to closing the digital divide while positioning the city as a fully connected smart city,” said City Manager Jessie Flores.
