Native Village of Chenega (a/k/a Chanega)
The Native Village of Chenega is located on a remote Alaskan island, accessible only by air or ferry. The village lacks access to important digital infrastructure, with no current Internet service with speed of 25/3 Mbps or greater for its residents. The goals of the proposed project are to (1) utilize existing infrastructure to bring Chenega out of their “unserved status” in terms of broadband service, (2) provide fiber to all anchor institutions, and (3) encourage broadband adoption and use by sponsoring broadband service and equipment for each household, business, and anchor institution.
