Belleville, IL (January 13, 2021) – Wisper ISP, Inc. donates goodies, such as candy, energy bars, crackers, ear savers, and more to thank the essential healthcare workers at Memorial Hospital Belleville. As the second wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic took hold on America, Wisper decided to take action by thanking those at the frontlines in the communities they serve.

When asked about the donation, Memorial Hospital’s Director of Communications and Marketing, Anne Thomure stated, “Memorial’s team is extremely grateful for the support, donations, and love from our community. We thank Wisper for remembering our team with their donation.”

Wisper ISP, Inc. also dropped off donations to the Pharmacy Department at HSHS St. Elizabeth Hospital in O’Fallon, IL.

When asked about the donation, HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital’s Director of Pharmacy, Julia Schimmelpfennig stated:

“During these very busy times, my team truly appreciates supporters like those at Wisper Internet! The snacks and words of encouragement and appreciation mean so much. Thank you, Wisper, for showing that you care.”

The hospital would like to remind the community that you can further support their colleagues as the pandemic is not over. Everyone must do their part to help flatten the curve by continuing to be diligent with hand washing, social distancing, avoiding large gatherings and family or friend get-togethers, masking, and staying home when we are ill.

Wisper Internet realizes they have been fortunate during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The demand for reliable, high-speed Internet service has boomed since the lockdowns began in March 2019. Many Americans have been working from home or learning from home to prevent the spread of the virus. Both tasks are nearly impossible to achieve in today’s age of technology without a reliable, high-speed Internet connection.

Wisper has been an Internet provider in O’Fallon and Belleville, IL since 2003, the year Wisper was founded. Their fixed wireless technology is on nine elevated structures throughout O’Fallon. Fixed Wireless Technology uses elevated structures, such as water towers, cell towers, grain elevators, etc. to reach a resident’s home.

Current capabilities do require the equipment on a resident’s roof to have a ‘line of sight’ to the elevated structure. That means no trees or terrain can be blocking the visual path. A resident will reside no more than 3-5 miles from the elevated structure to receive the desired signal strength.

We look forward to making more donations to our community in the future!
