May Progress Report! 🚧 A major milestone was reached in May: Underground Installation is now complete! The final 265 feet of underground conduit was completed last month, including the final 20 feet of trenching needed to wrap up the underground portion of the project.

To date:

📸 Pic of the Week: Solar Panels at the Data Center

With the solar brackets in place, crews are now installing solar panels at the Data Center. Solar energy will help support efficient, resilient power for the facility.

This newly constructed Data Center will play a key role in supporting the network infrastructure behind Fiber-to-the-Home service, helping bring reliable internet to the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation and surrounding areas.

🚨 Announcement: The grant-funded Fiber-to-the-Home buildout has been extended to help ensure all homes and businesses have the opportunity to be included before construction wraps up.

Crews are continuing to install fiber directly from the main line to homes and businesses. The extension also allows additional time to complete installation work tied to scheduling coordination and ongoing infrastructure work related to the Deer Horn Communication Tower.

If you’ve signed your SLA and have an appointment scheduled, please do your best to keep your appointment. Crews, equipment, and installation schedules are coordinated in advance each day, and missed appointments can delay progress.

If you have not signed up yet, it’s not too late! Now is still the time to get connected while the grant-funded installation window is extended.
