AI Contract Overview

Sierra Nevada Communications is advancing the FIBER 120 project to deliver high-speed fiber internet to 32 unserved locations in the Big Oak Flat and Merrell Road areas, directly benefiting an estimated population of 349, all of which reside in low-income communities.

In tandem with the California Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative, the project will also upgrade existing service for about 2,600 locations in Groveland and Pine Mountain Lake, increasing their speeds from 400/25 Mbps to the same symmetrical 5,000/5,000 Mbps without added cost to the project. The entire network will be constructed aerially, and Sierra Nevada Communications has committed to offering a low-cost broadband plan compliant with D. 22-04-055, Section 3, pledging to maintain these prices for at least a decade. This initiative addresses critical broadband gaps in environmentally and socially disadvantaged areas, ensuring equitable access to modern connectivity.
