ERC Broadband Buncombe BEAD
This project will expand our regional fiber network to deliver high-speed, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) service to underserved and unserved end users across a rural area currently lacking reliable broadband. Using scalable XGS-PON technology, we will provide symmetrical speeds of at least 100/100 Mbps, with capacity for multi-gigabit service tiers. As a trusted regional provider, we are committed to long-term network operation and affordability. The network will meet all BEAD requirements for speed, latency and reliability. This project will support critical applications like telehealth, remote work, and education, while positioning the region for future growth and next-generation services like 5G.
