U-reka Broadband Fiber Network Strategies

A community with a successful fiber network starts with a local fiber champion. We can bring everything else to the table – but we need a local champion. If you’re reading this, you might be your community’s champion.

How you think about and approach fiber depends on who you are in the community and who you represent. Below we have outlined several common scenarios and how we can help you work towards fiber in the community starting with any of these scenarios. If something sounds like a good fit to you – or if you have a new approach, please give us a call and we’ll see what we can do to make fiber happen in your area.

Are you a Community Economic Development Representative?  Are you looking to drive more business to your community?  Fiber Optics and  Broadband are an important part of the equation when keeping existing businesses and attracting new businesses to your community.  We can assist in helping you determine what fiber and bandwidth options are already in your community and also help you develop a plan to deploy your own fiber assets to bring these services to your community. 

Are you a Service Provider?  Are you looking at exploring what opportunities there might be out there for your company to partner with communities who are looking for an operator partner?  U-reka can work with both a community and a service provider to assist in creating an agreement and strategy that is beneficial to both parties.  After we have defined the strategy we can then assist with implementation.

Are you a member of your local government?  Do you hear from your constituents about the lack of broadband available to them?  U-reka can assist in first determining the need within your community and then also assist you in finding the correct model that will satisfy the needs of your community.  Being flexible and exploring all of your options will allow you to create a strategy that will be most beneficial to your constituents.

Are you a member of tribal government? How do you utilize broadband to meet the requirements of your tribal members?  U-reka can assist in developing an infrastructure that will allow you to deliver new and innovative services such as healthcare, public safety, human services and other education to your members.  

Do you own fiber assets?

Are you a business looking for fiber connectivity?  Tired of paying exorbitant rates for less than speedy broadband access?  Through our subsidiary-Minnesota Fiber Exchange - we can help you find fiber options and if necessary even assist in creating your own fiber network to meet your bandwidth requirements.
