How To Enroll in Broadband Academy’s Course for Tribal Communities

Many tribes need a partner to help them start and navigate a broadband project, but it can be hard to find someone that you trust. To set yourself on the right path before kicking off your project, enroll in Broadband Academy to understand what it takes to build a broadband network and business. You don’t have to be a Calix customer—and it’s offered at no charge. 

We created a special course just for tribes: Understanding Broadband Services for Tribal Communities. The course contains the six lessons below:

1. How To Prepare Your Broadband Services for Future Generations
2. Methods of Owning and Operating a Broadband Network
3. Funding for Tribes – Eligibility and Availability
4. Managing Broadband Funding: Best Practices and Obligations
5. Permit Requirements for Broadband Infrastructure Deployments
6. How To Run a For-Profit Broadband Business

Paired with Broadband Services Fundamentals, you’ll find everything you need to get a broadband project started.
