Southeast Alaska Broadband Strategic Plan

1. Prepared by Central Council Tlingit and Haida Northern Telecommunications Consultants Southeast AlaskaBroadband Strategic Plan

2. Broadband in Southeast Alaska The Key to Southeast Alaska’s Economic Future and Quality of Life More jobs More opportunities for local businesses Safer communities Better education

3. Broadband Impact How will Broadband impact our communities so that we can create an effective strategy for our economic and social development?

4. What is Broadband?

5. Must be effective and affordable broadband infrastructure Must have realistic adoption and utilization strategies Broadband Implementation

6. Northern Telecommunications Consultants Assessment of 19 Southeast Alaska Communities

7. Using Craig as a Proof of Concept Craig has been identified as the proof of concept site to demonstrate the ability of Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska to deploy affordable broadband as part of a nineteen community system.

8. PHASE 1: Establish Video Conferencing and computer lab in each community.

9. PHASE 2: Establish Community building network.

10. PHASE 3: Deploy WiMAX/Wi-Fi to the community building via Fiber Optic Cable

11. PHASE 4: Deploy WiMAX/Wi-Fi to Tribal member’s homes.

12. PHASE 5:Deploy WiMAX/Wi-Fi Hotspots within Craig for profit to insure sustainability of the vision of affordable broadband.

13. PHASE 6: Deploy mobile WiMAX/Wi-Fi to emergency services and other critical community users

14. PHASE 7: Establish a partnership with local exchange telephone carriers: Alaska Power and Telephone (AP&T) and Alaska Communications (ACS) and Ketchikan Public Utilities (KPU).

15. Phase 8: Establish Fiber Optic cables from central office to anchor tenant buildings and WiMAX tower.
