The State of Wisconsin is funding a pilot program to test satellite internet connectivity in rural areas. 

The project will use a $27,500 grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, which is a public-private partnership. 

The service is using SpaceX’s Starlink low Earth orbit satellites that can provide high-speed internet in rural areas where broadband is limited or not available.

Dave Hayden is Eau Claire County’s information systems director.
