The project includes the construction of new infrastructure to support an expansion of fixed wireless service to unserved and underserved residents and businesses. All proposed census blocks will have access to a minimum of 25/3 Mbps services (i.e., qualifying broadband service). Every household in the proposed service area will have access to 25/3 Mbps service.  The applicant is also offering a lower-speed plan, which was identified as a potentially unallowable cost by NTIA staff during Programmatic Review, and the applicant was required to cure its application.  In its cured application, the applicant clarified that it will only use BIP funds to provide qualifying broadband service.  The one service plan it proposes with a speed under 25/3 Mbps does not add any additional equipment or expenses to the costs shown in the application.

In total, the project will result in the construction of 24 new towers and equipment fit ups to 8 existing tower sites to deliver fixed wireless technology to 3,965 unserved households at speeds of 10/2 Mbps to 150/45 Mbps.  

Crowsnest will provide broadband service from 12/10 Mbps at $54/month to 150/45 Mbps at $169/month to residential customers. Upward Broadband will provide broadband service from 10/12 Mbps at $49.95/month to 100/20 Mbps at $299.95/month to residential customers.
