This Tennessee city is hurtling forward with a 25-gig network for everyone and a major new business push behind so-called quantum networking.
Before it became the country’s first “gig city,” Chattanooga, Tenn., moved at a languid pace — if it moved at all.
Steve Case, the former America Online CEO and author of “The Rise of the Rest: How Entrepreneurs in Surprising Places are Building the New American Dream,” attended the event. Case has called the city “freight alley” for its proximity to a major river, railroad system and interstate freeways. “Quantum is the next chapter, much like in the beginning,” added Kelly, who is also part-owner of a local soccer team and brewery. “We do not know where it is going to go, but surely VC and research will accrue here.”
Just as important is the city’s location: It is at the nexus of Atlanta; Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn.; and Birmingham, Ala. — and is within a one-day truck drive of half of the U.S. population. At the nearby University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus, known as UTC, they’re developing smart-city applications such as a 100-intersection urban testbed for autonomous vehicles over the next few years. “We could greatly influence future transportation,” said Mina Sartipi, founding director of the Center for Urban Informatics and Progress at UTC.“It comes down to growth management,” said Kelly, a leading proponent in the region for a corridor track to Atlanta and expansion of the airport.
