California began work on an ambitious fiber project which aims to
deliver statewide open access middle mile connectivity by the end of
2026. The project, which was announced in 2021, is being fueled by
$3.8 billion in federal and state funds.
The state's network design calls for a total of 10,000 miles of
fiber. The largest portion of the project will run through San
Bernadino County, which will be home to 850 miles of fiber. Kern
County (544 miles), Riverside County (535 miles) and Los Angeles
County (525 miles) will also account for substantial portions of the
system.
