Lexington Company Helps Restore Cell Service In Puerto Rico
...thousands of Puerto Ricans are able to contact people by cellphone, thanks to the work of a Lexington company.
Vanu Inc. makes cellular base stations, with the goal of helping the 1 billion people around the world who don't have cell service get connected. The portable stations are being used in rural Vermont and Rwanda.
Each station covers about a 3-mile radius and costs about $5,000. The company sent three stations to Puerto Rico and now plans to ship 40 more — all for free.
