Broadband for Rural & Tribal Communities
Arcadian has 3,500 miles of critically needed routes under development.
Broadband for Rural Communities
Arcadian is building across some of the most difficult geography in the United States, creating diverse fiber routes where none existed before. We have purposefully chosen the paths that were skipped decades ago, adding resiliency to the United States’ internet backbone infrastructure for our commercial network partners while linking underserved communities to critical information infrastructure.
On August 24, 2024 Arcadian held a groundbreaking ceremony in Willits, CA for its San Jose to Eureka fiber route (The Redwood Route). The route is a ‘local to global’ infrastructure project built with real purpose, creating wide-reaching economic impacts beyond traditional financial returns and technology measures.
The groundbreaking in Willits illustrates Arcadian’s dual mission: The Redwood Route will serve the world’s largest information providers by connecting San Jose to Asia via the subsea cable landing station in Arcata, CA, while also enabling affordable broadband for the rural and tribal communities along its path.
The Redwood Route is a part of 1,250 route miles of critically needed information infrastructure in California and beyond. When completed, these fiber routes will connect major US data centers, subsea fiber landing stations and rural communities throughout the Western U.S. (Photo included)

Arcadian Infracom and the Navajo Nation celebrated a revenue share payment under the Navajo/Arcadian Fiber Partnership being delivered to Tribal Council leaders. The ceremony in front of Tribal Council chambers in Window Rock, AZ was the result of four years of hard work across a broad team of Navajo leaders, Arcadian and its financial partners. Arcadian and the Navajo Nation, in partnership, built the trust necessary to execute on this momentous middle mile/long-haul fiber construction project through the Navajo Nation, improving broadband access, economic opportunity and quality of life for the Navajo people.
Bringing Broadband to Tribal Communities
From its founding, Arcadian has placed special focus on bringing broadband to remote rural and tribal communities. In 2023, Arcadian assisted the Pueblo of Laguna in New Mexico in the development of its winning FTTH grant proposal and provided network design and consulting services at no cost. That state-of-the art FTTH fiber network will span 193 miles and provide broadband service to all six Pueblo villages. (Photo included)
In 2018, Arcadian began working with the Navajo Nation to develop a plan to bring fiber to and through their nation. In 2018, and again in 2020, Navajo legislation was passed codifying the Arcadian partnership with the Navajo Nation allowing Arcadian access to unique rights-of-way across Navajo land.
