JAG-NM Specialist Andrew Urquidez shows up at a shelter drop-in site every Tuesday. He brings his laptop — and a Mobile Beacon hotspot. By 1pm, youth are already there waiting, because they know reliable Wi-Fi will be too.

That's what connectivity for missions that matter actually looks like. 👉 mobilebeacon.org/case-study-jag/

We recently celebrated National Nonprofit Day and took a moment to honor the incredible work happening in communities across the country. From food pantries to classrooms to home health visits, nonprofits showed up in ways big and small every single day.
Mobile Beacon is honored to support that work, and we remain excited about where it's headed next. Take a look at our latest article to see what we celebrated, the risks to vital funding, and details on our partnerships with TechSoup and Digital Wish.

When a heat emergency hits, what do you do first? Check the weather, find cooling centers, or reach out to family.

Now, imagine doing all of that without a working internet connection.

For millions of families in rural America, that’s the reality during extreme summer heat. As power grids struggle and wired internet goes down, the link to healthcare and emergency resources is severed exactly when it’s needed most.

At Mobile Beacon, we’ve seen how quickly a community becomes isolated when the internet fails. That’s why we work with local nonprofits and clinics to provide a reliable "second backbone" of 5G connectivity. It helps ensure that when the grid fails, the lifeline to the community doesn’t.

How is your community preparing for the summer months? Let us know in the comments.
