Why Fiber Installation Matters

Fiber optic technology is the backbone of modern communication. Unlike traditional copper wiring, fiber optics use light to transmit data, resulting in significantly faster internet speeds and more reliable connections. Whether it’s for homes, businesses, or public institutions, fiber optics offer:

  • High-Speed Internet: Enjoy blazing-fast download and upload speeds.
  • Reliable Connections: Fewer outages and interruptions.
  • Increased Bandwidth: Perfect for high-demand applications like streaming and online gaming.
  • Future-Proof Technology: Scalable to accommodate future advancements.

Federal Broadband Investment

Under the National BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) Program, the Federal Government has allocated $42.45 billion, which must be spent by 2026, to boost broadband infrastructure across the country, including in the Southwest.
