Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation

The project proposes the following activities designed to improve access to, and use of, broadband services among Tribal members. The following will benefit Tribal members and visitors:

• One RAN site to cover the Supai Village and two additional sites to cover the canyon area. These sites will integrate Educational Broadband Spectrum (EBS) 2.5 GHz spectrum. All RAN Sites designed with microwave backhaul.
• One 35 meter tower to be deployed next to the existing one in Long Mesa. The existing tower has reached its maximum capacity and no additional equipment can be mounted. The construction of a new tower will allow the Havasupai Tribe to expand backhaul capacity in the future. One Fiber route runs from Peach Springs to the Long Mesa tower (at the Long Mesa area) and the Hualapai Hilltop (at the end of Indian Road 18) with an overall length of 140 kilometers. Deployment of a centralized evolved packet core solution at the Supai village’s server room that provides connection management and Internet connectivity to all RAN sites.
