Project Title:
Middle Mile Grant Program
Funding Program:
Enabling Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure Program
Project Purpose/Type:
Hawaiian Telcom, Inc.’s Middle Mile Grant project proposes to build an economically and environmentally sustainable, open access middle mile infrastructure consisting of four undersea routes, three of which are along the northern side of the Hawaiian Islands and one which connects Ford Island to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, totaling 295 miles of fiber. The network is designed to establish a new northern fiber path above the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii that will play a critical role in enhancing network resiliency. This initiative will enable broadband connectivity to historically disconnected and infrastructure-limited communities while enhancing the resilience of broadband services across the state of Hawaii.
