In-building connectivity powers the moments that matter, whether at work, school, or on the move. As society becomes increasingly mobile-first, Wi-Fi alone can’t meet growing demands and traditional deployment models no longer apply. Panelists from the Wireless Infrastructure Association’s In-Building Forum will examine how modern indoor connectivity strategies are transforming, healthcare, education, and the shared spaces where communities live, work, and connect.
Join WIA and the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition on Wednesday, March 25 at 2pm ET to discuss the role of connectivity in connecting communities.
Moderator: Iain Gillott, Vice President of Innovation and Technology, WIA
Speaker: John Shubin, Director, National Sales, ADRF.
Speaker: Rishi Mahajan, Senior Director, Solutions Development, Network Connex

The $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program (RHT Program) represents a major opportunity to strengthen rural healthcare systems. The purpose of the program is to transform the rural health ecosystem by strengthening care delivery, improving health outcomes, expanding access to essential services, and stabilizing the financial future of rural providers. This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the program, including what it funds and its overarching goals, and examine how various states are approaching implementation.
Speakers will also discuss how anchor institutions, nonprofits and rural providers can benefit from RHT funding, and how it differs from existing funding opportunities such as the FCC’s Rural Health Care Program.
Finally, the webinar will explore opportunities to better integrate digital opportunity initiatives—such as broadband access, digital skills, and technology adoption—into healthcare delivery systems, ensuring rural communities are positioned to fully realize the program’s impact.
Speakers:
Sarah Bauman, Director of Stakeholder Engagement, Utah Education and Telehealth Network.
Michael Wallace, Assistant Director UAMS e-Link
Shawn Daugherty, Principal, Digital Opportunity at HR&A Advisor
Jordan Rogers, Director of Relationship Marketing
