New Mexico State University

The project will improve broadband access by: (1) Expanding access on South Campus to connect individual housing units to the main New Mexico State University (NMSU) network backbone for better internet connection; (2) Expanding NMSC's existing broadband network to Farmington, NM by installing a broadband network infrastructure that safely provides internet, power, and housing to devices used by researchers and students at the NMSC Farmington Agricultural Experiment Station and the surrounding remote areas; and (3) Purchasing equipment and upgrades for additional stations for the Forestry Research center in Mora, NM and the Agricultural Science Center in Alcade, NM.

As a result of implementing the project, Regents of New Mexico State University will expand and improve its broadband network resulting in better access for individuals on campus and in the community. The expansion to agricultural research and science centers will also improve connectivity for researchers and students to continue to support agricultural research. The upgrade will support online learning, increase the institution’s technology and IT capacity, and continue to provide support for research that sustain and support New Mexico's diverse environment, farms, ranches, forests, and communities.

The Bringing Broadband to New Mexico State University and Surrounding Counties project, located in Las Cruces, New Mexico, will serve students and residents of the 3 campus apartment complexes: Southerland Village, Tom Fort Village, and Cervantes Village, as well as researchers and patrons of Agriculture Experiment Station sites. The broadband upgrade will increase connectivity for students, researchers, and members of the community and improve technology access overall.
