The proposed Planning, Engineering, Feasibility, and Sustainability project will fund environmental technical studies and compliance documents, as well as network design and engineering to support the future deployment of a fixed wireless backhaul and last mile fiberoptic connectivity, including infrastructure to support future interconnection to fiberoptic services to serve unserved Tribal members. The engineering for a new broadband infrastructure will utilize three spectrum bands (5 GHz, 900 MHz, and 2.5 GHz) and the proposed project would design a Tribal-owned wireless backhaul from a new tower on Tribal land to Crescent City via a Verizon Wireless Tower on Requa Hill. The project intends to benefit 10 households, Tribal offices, the Lena Reed McCovey Community Center, and the Cher’ere Campground & RV Park with future broadband at or above 100/20 Mbps and Tribal facilities with 1000/1000 Mbps.
