Amperage is focused on the unprecedented wave of massive government grant funded infrastructure programs
Our Mission
Access to reliable and affordable high-speed internet is a critical pillar for economic growth and societal progress. Amperage is committed to bridging the digital gap through fit-for-purpose strategic partnerships tailored to the needs of underserved communities. Through its comprehensive platform, Amperage is seizing the vast potential of the broadband fiber market, leveraging targeted investments and fostering collaborations with rural broadband stakeholders nationwide.
The Broadband Opportunity is Big and Important
US economy relies on internet connectivity to prosper.
Broadband coverage is still limited in many areas of the US.
Without connectivity, rural America could be left behind.
What Amperage Does
Amperage is dedicated to delivering high-quality broadband services to underserved areas in America. We leverage State and Federal infrastructure programs to offset the high cost of deployment and operations in rural communities.
Our principal business provides matching capital to operators seeking funds through existing infrastructure investment programs and then participating in the upcoming $42.5 billion BEAD program currently underway. Post-investment, our team of partners and suppliers help ISPs successfully execute projects, acquire subscribers and generate revenue.
We offer three solutions to help ISPs accelerate deployment of critical infrastructure
Most grant money must be matched with private capital.
Grant funding for rural broadband has surged, but private capital is essential to mobilizing implementation.
Building infrastructure is complex and calls for proficiency in various skill sets.
Overcoming hurdles of sparse terrain, low population density, and affordability, broadband expansion demands efficient regulatory navigation, local workforce utilization, and reliable infrastructure for sustainable rural connectivity.
Expanding from local to multi-county, multi-state coverage requires efficient scaling, meeting funding milestones promptly, and developing effective sales strategies for optimal subscriber penetration and build timing.
It can be difficult for smaller ISPs to market, sell to and service customers.
Who we serve
-
ISPs/WISPs
Amperage will invest in and partner with operators that have strong local knowledge, community engagement and state broadband relationships.
-
Municipalities
Amperage invests through private/public partnerships and joint ventures with municipally-owned infrastructure and service providers.
-
Electrical Cooperatives
Amperage will also invest alongside Electric Cooperatives with an existing client base, community engagement and underlying facilities. This will also be a precursor to the grid modernization requirements in the energy sector.
-
Tribal Communities
Amperage aims to support Tribal communities by offering both resources and expertise to ensure secure broadband services in the future. While the Tribal community benefits from existing grant programs aimed at bridging the digital divide, there remains a gap in the expertise needed to construct and manage an advanced broadband network.
