The project intends to utilize CC Communications’ existing network core, central office, middle mile, fiber, and conduit that is currently deployed in the region to directly connect 5,758 unserved locations to qualifying broadband service. CC Communications proposes to expand on its already deployed XGS-PON FTTH network that is serving City of Elko customers and passing hundreds of locations. It would use this grant to deploy into the rural adjacent area to which CC Communications has an active FTTH construction project. Residents will receive access to broadband speeds of 100/100 Mbps ($49.99/mo.), 500/500Mbps ($99.99/mo.) up to 1 Gbps/1 Gbps ($149.99/mo.).
Overall, this project will bring broadband service to 5,568 unserved households, 169 businesses, and 21 community anchor institutions in Elko County.
The rural residents of Elko County will benefit from this project. This area has seen a recent increase in residential lots while suffering from a lack of service businesses and reliable broadband service.
CC Communications will receive all funds and assume responsibility for construction, installation, maintenance, and operation of the network.
