FFA Sierra Nevada Communications, FIBER 120

Sierra Nevada Communications proposes the FIBER 120 project to serve an estimated 32 unserved locations based on a March 2024 supplemental application filing. There are approximately 183 unserved units in the project area. An estimated unserved population of 349 would be offered service. An estimated total population of 349 will benefit from these investments in and around the communities of Big Oak Flat and Merrell Road. The last-mile fiber project will provide up to 5,000/5,000 Mbps service to consumers. In addition, this project, in combination with the California Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative, will improve the service to approximately 2,600 locations in the communities of Groveland and Pine Mountain Lake. Speeds offered to Sierra Nevada Communications customers in Groveland and Pine Mountain Lake will increase from 400/25 Mbps to 5,000/5000 Mbps with no additional costs to the project. Sierra Nevada Communications will deploy approximately four miles of last-mile fiber and five miles of middle mile fiber. The network infrastructure will be 100 percent aerial. The project will benefit disadvantaged or Environmental and Social Justice communities: 100 percent of the unserved locations are in low-income areas. Sierra Nevada Communications will provide a low-cost broadband plan that meets the requirements in D. 22-04-055, Section 3, and has committed to maintaining its prices for at least ten years.
