Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be)
Wi-Fi 7 will deliver significantly higher speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity, enhancing the in-home fiber broadband experience.
Passive Optical Network (PON) Evolution (25G/50G-PON)
The evolution of PON technologies to 25G and 50G enables fiber networks to support even greater bandwidth and service capabilities for the future.
Edge Computing Integration
Integrating edge computing into fiber networks will bring data processing closer to the user, reducing latency for advanced applications like AR/VR and IoT.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program (2021)
Part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), BEAD allocates over $42.45 billion to states for broadband deployment, prioritizing unserved and underserved areas.
This policy provides significant funding opportunities for UTOPIA Fiber to expand its network into new underserved areas within Utah and potentially other states.
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) (2021)
A long-term program to help low-income households afford broadband service and connected devices, offering a discount of up to $30 per month.
The ACP increases the affordability and accessibility of UTOPIA Fiber's services, expanding its potential customer base, particularly among cost-conscious segments.
Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act (2021)
Also part of the IIJA, BABA requires that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in federally funded infrastructure projects are produced in the United States.
This policy may affect UTOPIA Fiber's supply chain and procurement strategies for network expansion, potentially increasing costs or requiring new domestic sourcing partnerships.
