Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative

In July 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 156 to create an open-access middle-mile network to bring equitable high-speed broadband service to all Californians. SB 156 provides $3.25 billion to build the necessary infrastructure to bring internet connectivity to homes, businesses and community institutions. The design and construction of the middle-mile network is monitored by the Middle-Mile Advisory Committee (MMAC).

Through our valued partners such as Caltrans and American Dark Fiber, HP Communications Inc. is honored to be selected as one of the contractors building the network to support the historic Middle Mile Broadband Initiative. Bridging the digital divide is no small feat and it takes men and women in the arena who strive valiantly through all challenges to emerge successfully. HP Communications brings its 25-year legacy of commitment to service and excellence to fulfill the California Department of Technology’s mission of connectivity for all.
