On Wednesday, June 5th, 2019 the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC)
formally approved GeoLinks
to start receiving funding for the Company’s Connect America Fund Phase
II (CAF II) buildout in California and Nevada. Announced
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in August of 2018
as
the largest CAF II winner in the state of California, and 5th
largest winner in the nation overall, with GeoLinks’ deployment plans
and Letters of Credit officially approved, the innovative telecom will
officially begin broadband deployment this summer.

Awarded a total of $87.8M in the auction, GeoLinks
will provide more than 11,000 rural locations across California and
Nevada with Internet at 100 megabits per second. The Company is also
confident that this new infrastructure will simultaneously reduce the
cost of bringing high speed broadband access to anchor institutions,
such as Schools, Libraries, Hospitals, and Community Colleges,
throughout both states.

“We are thrilled to have officially cleared both the FCC and USAC’s
approval process for CAF II,” stated GeoLinks’ Co-Founder and CEO Skyler
Ditchfield. “While the announcement back in August was undoubtedly
exciting, we are now officially in the position to begin deployment
throughout both states.”

With the GeoLinks’ team fully prepared to break ground, the Company is
now looking forward to participating in the FCC’s LIFT America Act,
which will support another $40B worth of broadband infrastructure
deployment in aims of closing the digital divide.
