Pinpoint Delivers Fiber-Optic Connectivity to Rural Nebraska Communities
CAMBRIDGE, NE — Pinpoint (Pinpoint Communications, Inc.) announced today that thru the
CARES ACT funding from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, they have
expanded their footprint to serve more underserved locations in rural Nebraska and continues to
deliver on its commitment to deliver fast, reliable fiber-optic broadband internet to underserved
rural southwestern Nebraska communities in the year of 2020.
With support from the 2020 Nebraska Remote Access Grant, Pinpoint constructed fiber-to-the-
premises (FTTP) networks that connect homes and businesses in communities of Alma, Beaver
City, and Republican City. The first customers within the communities were connected to
Pinpoint Fiber-Optic service as of December 22, 2020.
“If the year 2020 taught us anything, it’s that staying connected with the world around us is more
important than ever,” Pinpoint President Tom Shoemaker said. “Our team has worked tirelessly
to ensure that our new service areas were connected by the end of 2020. Bringing each home
the assurance of reliable fiber internet and phone service in the years to come.”
“Pinpoint will continue bringing fiber-optic connectivity to rural Nebraska, and proudly grow our
company into communities that need it the most. As we look at the communities we have been
serving throughout the year, we can’t help but be thankful for the new businesses and personal
connections this effort has created thus far, and will continue to create as we grow.”
With the addition of the new service areas to Alma, Beaver City, Republican City, and select
surrounding areas, Pinpoint is proud to provide availability of fiber connectivity to roughly 5,500
total homes and businesses access to their world class fiber-optic network by the time the
project is complete. Currently, Pinpoint owns and operates all-fiber networks in four Southwest
Nebraska communities that include Cambridge, Bartley, Gothenburg, Oxford, and has begun
construction of an all-fiber network in McCook Nebraska with plans to continue growing into
more rural communities in the coming years.
