BLM issues Decision for Fiber Optic Line
CARSON CITY, Nev – The Bureau of Land Management has issued a Decision for a VERO Fiber Network LLC to amend an existing fiber optic line.
The amendment authorizes new power and fiber laterals to the Bonnie Claire and Amargosa in-line amplifier (ILA), construction of a fiber lateral to the Gabbs ILA on private land, and the construction of two newly proposed ILAs in Hawthorne and Tonopah. These changes occur across the Stillwater, Tonopah, and Pahrump field office areas. The ILAs provide essential signal boosting needed to deliver reliable broadband across long distances, supporting improved network quality and additional bandwidth for rural communities.
