Tribal Broadband

We’re helping tribes roll out broadband to their members in the most rural parts of the country

The Opportunity

The Biden Administration has announced a $40+ billion budget for high-speed internet from the bipartisan infrastructure bill that will be used to bolster internet access for people in under-served rural communities. We help ensure that your tribe gets their fair share.

Bridging Tribes into the Digital Future

Our broadband solutions are meticulously crafted to enhance access, supercharge communications, and give tribes unbridled control over their connectivity needs.

Through our partnership with Speed Connect, we are committed to offering turn-key technical, managerial, and training solutions to tribes, especially for those who have been beneficiaries of the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (TBCP) grants or are in the process of applying.

Our Step-By-Step Solution

  • We’ll start out by helping you answer questions such as: Are there existing towers and internet providers available in the area or is this a start-from-scratch scenario?

  • Next, we do a full equipment recommendation based on what’s desired and what's possible.

  • TPT provides all equipment and MEC Services leads the construction.

  • Once the infrastructure is in place, we can provide installation and equipment training for service on tribal lands. We offer the option to manage the utility yourself, empowering you to open a new business and employment opportunity for your tribe.
