Taking the risk out of community-owned broadband

Building and maintaining a fiber broadband network is a major infrastructure project for any municipality. OneFiber can help. OneFiber delivers a turnkey solution including maintenance and operational support.

Budget neutral

Long-term fiber networks are great budget-neutral investments for any municipality but the building cost comes before revenue which can have a major budgetary impact on the town’s budget. This is where we offer bridge financing for your fiber network. OneFiber finances the gap until the network becomes self-sustaining in return for a partial ownership of your network.

Reduced complexity

Fiber networks are more complex to build and maintain than roads. OneFiber specializes in building and maintaining fiber networks for municipalities. We understand the complexities and we work with experienced local partners for the build out and maintenance.

Based on your specific requirements, OneFiber will regularly issue financials and network performance reports. Our project management team will keep you informed every step of the way.

Streamlined permitting

The amount of permits necessary to complete the fiber build-out is extensive and can overwhelm existing municipality staff. OneFiber makes it easier by combining permit applications in 6-month work packages. Next to that, OneFiber can help here by hiring a permitter on your behalf to handle the fiber-related permitting process. They will work closely with your own staff to comply with local laws and ordinance.

ISP management

OneFiber runs the fiber network as an open access network. Multiple ISPs compete for the business of your residents leading to better pricing and service.

OneFiber recruits and contracts ISPs to deliver their service. We will maintain these relations and monitor their performance and compliance with local regulation. OneFiber will regularly report on their performance based on your requirements.

Grant applications

There are a multitude of state programs available to reduce the cost of building broadband internet to unserved and underserved areas. The grant application process can be complex and lengthy. OneFiber knows how to navigate this landscape and brings in our experts to draft, submit and manage the grant application process for you.

Local regulation compliance

OneFiber makes sure that your fiber network build-out is compliant with public private partnerships and municipality-owned broadband network regulations including mandatory process, reporting and accounting practices.
