Montgomery Connects is the County’s digital equity and inclusion program. Our goal is for every resident and business to be part of our shared digital world. We work to achieve this by helping people to get access to computer devices, needed technology training, affordable home broadband services and subsidies, and public WiFi access points. Montgomery Connects is powered by the Department of Technology & Enterprise Business Solutions (TEBS) and part of the Office of Broadband Programs.

Rural: Closing the Last Mile Gap
Montgomery Connects aims to ensure that all homes and businesses located in the county’s rural Ag Reserve have access to high-speed broadband at home. Under the Montgomery Connects initiative, the Ag Reserve has been surveyed and gaps in broadband infrastructure have been identified. Montgomery Connects partners with both federal, state and private internet service providers to fund and construct the fiber needed to close the last mile broadband gap.
Senior Planet in Montgomery
We need to be proactive and innovative to enable all residents to use technology and the internet to thrive at every age. Senior Planet offers specially designed online and in-person classes for people 60 and older to communicate with family and friends online, access healthcare, understand AI and wearable technology, manage finances, and so much more.
MoCoNet
MoCoNet is an innovative initiative of Montgomery Connects in which Montgomery County constructs and brings free, high-speed internet over fiber to individual affordable housing communities. Features include in-home WiFi connectivity, security and other enhanced services, all powered in a partnership with Plume, a company that shares the County’s digital equity focus.
