Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL)

The dual Broadband Use and Adoption and Planning, Engineering, Feasibility, and Sustainability Studies project will assist rural areas with high concentrations of Native Hawaiians in developing programs and resources to address technology gaps and build capacity to use broadband services. This project is expected to enable broadband adoption activities, including telehealth, distance learning, telework, and digital literacy. Additionally, DHHL will conduct a planning study in support of future broadband infrastructure deployment projects. This study will collect data on the availability and efficiency of current services, build an engineering plan for future infrastructure construction, increase collaboration from relevant stakeholders, and ultimately propose a sustainable, hybrid network design broadband infrastructure project.
