Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Broadband Infrastructure Deployment Project proposes to install two middle-mile routes across non-contiguous tribal lands in two states. It will build a last-mile FTTP infrastructure to connect the 104 homes, businesses, and tribal government locations in White Mesa, Utah. This will directly connect approximately 817 unserved Native American households, 7 unserved tribal businesses, and 36 unserved community anchor institutions with qualifying broadband. The range of services will start at 200 Mbps symmetrical speeds to 1 Gbps symmetrical speeds.
The project proposes the following activities designed to improve access to, and use of, broadband services among tribal members. Their proposal is to construct two key middle-mile routes and FTTP for White Mesa. The first route will connect the Umut Tribal Visitor's Center to Teec Nos Pos. This route will connect to fiber being built by Arcadian Infrastructure and the Navajo Nation. The proposed second route will be from the intersection.
