California Town Plans Municipal FTTH Network

The town of Truckee, California, plans to begin construction this Fall of a municipal FTTH network serving 12,000 subscribers. The Truckee Donner Public Utility District ("TDPUD") recently sold a 16.5 mile conduit that runs through the town to Sierra Pacific Communications (SPC). Proceeds will be used for construction of the new FTTH network. The conduit will assist SPC in completing its Salt Lake City to Sacramento fiber optic network. The deal also provides TDPUD with the rights to four strands of dark fiber running from Reno to Sacramento. The dark fiber will be used to fulfill programming requirements of the municipal FTTH network.


Aggregate Networks was hired by TDPUD to assist it in the valuation of the conduit, dark fiber route, related network assets, as well as negotiation and disposition of the asset. Aggregate Networks is also representing TDPUD in procuring financing for the construction and roll-out of services for its broadband network.
