Data center opens on tribal lands in California to support fiber network

A new data center has opened on reservation land in the Hoopa Valley Reservation in California to support a new tribally owned broadband network.

Hoopa Valley Public Utilities District (HVPUD) opened its new NTIA Data Center on July 17.

The new facility is part of the Hoopa Valley Tribe’s broadband efforts to expand fiber-to-the-home Internet access throughout the Hoopa Valley Reservation, Willow Creek, and Trinity County.

“The NTIA Data Center will serve as the operational hub for the broadband network, housing the equipment needed to monitor, manage, and deliver service to homes and businesses throughout the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation and surrounding areas,” said Acorn Connected, the tribe’s Internet service provider under HVPUD. “It will be the dedicated home for Acorn Connected and support the network’s long-term growth and reliability.”
