Introducing Bellflower Connect – Powered by the City of Bellflower

Bellflower Connect is the City of Bellflower’s new community broadband network is underway. The new network will help bridge the digital divide by providing free, outdoor wireless broadband access all over Bellflower.

The City is rolling out this service in phases over the next 24 months, beginning with Phase 1 around Downtown Bellflower (May 1, 2023). A map of the planned phase areas is viewable below. We are currently working on Phase 1 only at this time. The City is now accepting applications from residents living in Phase 1, estimated to receive in-home units in early 2024. The City will also accept applications from Phase 2, TBD when in-home units will ship.



The City also plans to offer free in-home, broadband access modems to eligible households in Bellflower. These modems will amplify the outdoor wireless signal from the network into a home – giving eligible households a free, high-speed internet connection at no additional cost.
