Document Description
The proposed project provides the public safety benefits of reliable broadband
infrastructure and will benefit households. The Tuolumne - 1C Project is located in Tuolumne County, California. The Locations within the Project Area are located in Sonora and Jamestown. The length of the project is expected to be 18 months. Major roadways include Highway 108 and Highway 49. AT&T proposes construction of a Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network. AT&T will deploy approximately 54 miles of fiber, in 1 central office (s). Because this is a fiber-based network, there are no remote terminals. AT&T estimates that it will deploy 44 miles aerial and 10 miles of underground (buried) fiber. Aerial fiber will be placed along existing conduit and utility poles. Underground (buried) fiber will be placed in existing Rights-of-way, or within private utility easements, on a limited basis.
