OUR STORY

Armed with a belief that the technology of tomorrow cannot be built on the strategies of the past, our founders set out to change an industry and make it easier for people to connect with the world.

OUR MISSION

CREATE A REVOLUTIONARY PLATFORM TO BETTER ENABLE CONNECTIVITY 

Original founders Rod Hanson and Jonathan Restivo, wireless industry veterans, first began working together in 2013, often hitting the road for business development and later sharing visions for the future of connectivity.

 

Over coffee in the midst of a global pandemic, the idea for Cityside Networks was born with the belief that we could all be doing this better. Building smarter, faster, together. Industry vet Scott Gegan joined the company a few months later to direct construction strategies for this next era of connectivity deployment and management.

Through the forward-thinking pursuit of innovation, strong internal and external relationships, and commitment to proper everyday blocking and tackling techniques, the Cityside team is empowered to create an ecosystem that fosters fiber-based network developments and the incredible future-enabling use cases this infrastructure platform can inspire.
