Innovative digital equity nonprofit DigitalC has been working for years to shore up affordable broadband access in underserved cities like Cleveland, Ohio. 

Now the organization is enjoying new momentum for its plans to expand fixed wireless broadband access in the city thanks to a $500,000 cash infusion from tech giant Google. According to a recent announcement, the donation includes next-generation Fixed Wireless Access (ngFWA) equipment from Tarana, which will allow DigitalC to expand its Canopy home broadband service – which provides symmetrical 100 megabit per second (Mbps) at $18 a month – to even more neighborhoods in Ohio.

The nonprofit just celebrated the connection of its 6,000th household in Cleveland, a city once ranked the worst-connected large city in the U.S. by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA).

“This meaningful investment from GFiber adds bandwidth to our capacity to scale the Cleveland Model,” DigitalC CEO Joshua Edmonds said of the cash infusion. “This community-based blueprint proves that next-generation technology can be deployed quickly, trusted deeply, and scaled effectively to deliver the superior internet experience more communities deserve.”

The Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA) has chosen Sertex Broadband Solutions to help build and manage a massive portion of the state’s 536-mile Maine Online Optical Statewide Enabling Network (MOOSE Net) middle mile fiber network.

According to the MCA, Sertex will engineer and construct a 450-mile segment of MOOSE NET on the back of a $30 million grant.

The effort is expected to dramatically improve broadband connectivity for 11,000 homes and businesses as well as 200 community anchor institutions, including rural Maine schools, libraries, and healthcare facilities.

The decision comes after the MCA, Maine’s quasi-governmental public agency in charge of broadband expansion and digital equity, issued a request for proposal (RFP) back in late 2024 looking for partners.

“Maine's low population density and rural geography make it difficult to attract the same investment that other states have seen over the past two decades, “ MCA President Andrew Butcher said. “We are excited to work with Sertex with their proven track record of delivering a network of this scale, and one that is so critical for our State. MOOSE Net will ensure that Maine has the broadband infrastructure that communities and businesses need to thrive and grow.”

In partnership with the Maine Department of Transportation and The University of Maine System, MCA secured a $30 million competitive grant from the National Telecommunications Information Administration's (NTIA) Enabling Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure Program. The MCA middle mile proposal was one of 32 selected from a pool of more than 260 applications submitted to the NTIA.
