Description supplied by the source

This project will expand our regional fiber network to deliver high-speed, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) service to underserved and unserved end users across a rural area currently lacking reliable broadband. Using scalable XGS-PON technology, we will provide symmetrical speeds of at least 100/100 Mbps, with capacity for multi-gigabit service tiers. As a trusted regional provider, we are committed to long-term network operation and affordability. The network will meet all BEAD requirements for speed, latency and reliability. This project will support critical applications like telehealth, remote work, and education, while positioning the region for future growth and next-generation services like 5G.

  • An award is a research signal. The award holder decides its own bids and subcontracts. Confirm project status and vendor needs with them.

“Not reported” means missing information, not zero. Completed and withdrawn records can remain available as historical records.
