The Tennessee Emergency Broadband Fund – American Rescue Plan (TEBF-ARP) project calls for the construction of a 195-mile fiber network that will provide broadband access to approximately 2,400 unserved residents and businesses in Putnam County.

With such a massive undertaking and supply chain issues prevalent throughout the world, the State’s contract stipulates construction must be completed within 36-months. However, due the critical nature of the project, Twin Lakes anticipates project completion 6-months prior to the State’s deadline.

Fiber is not just about the internet. It is about delivering a connection to your home or business that will allow you to have a better experience connecting to all of the advanced communications solutions available. Over fiber you can connect to reliable voice solutions, robust TV services, broadband speeds up to 10 GIG (10,000 Mbps), security and smart control systems, and so much more. A fiber network is more reliable than other networks as it is less prone to interference. Since fiber is made of glass, it will not conduct electricity, making it safer and less prone to disruptive power surges, unlike previous technologies. A state-of-the-art fiber network will offer ultra-fast Internet, advancements to our communities, accelerating improvement in quality of life, economic potential and educational opportunities.
