On Tuesday, July 19, the Fremont City Council adopted the Citywide Fiber Optic Master Plan, which was created to guide the implementation of a City-owned fiber-optic network that will serve as a critical investment in our community’s future.

Jointly developed by Magellan Advisors and the City, the approved plan outlines how the City will facilitate increased robust broadband infrastructure in the community, enabling economic development and ‘smart city’ initiatives, such as high-speed connectivity, sensors, and automated devices. It also strategizes the use and deployment of broadband infrastructure for government facilities and commercial and industrial corridors, as well as examines options for expanding broadband assets to City residents. The plan incorporates findings from interviews that Magellan conducted with City departments, a market assessment, and responses from a community survey.

With this plan, our City aims to transform Fremont into a broadband-rich environment, which will attract and retain businesses, as well as promote digital equity in underserved areas of the community.
