Digital Ubiquity Capital

The California Public Utilities Commission’s $41 million investment in broadband grants is a pivotal move toward bridging the digital divide and advancing digital equity. By funding essential “last-mile” projects across counties like Madera, Napa, and San Luis Obispo, California is equipping its communities with the connectivity needed for sustained growth, resilience, and opportunity. At DUC, we are dedicated to supporting counties and municipalities that champion project governance and build open, resilient networks. Such investments are essential not only for ensuring robust connectivity but also for driving competition, minimizing disruption, and establishing a strong foundation for sustainable economic growth and innovation. Through our ongoing collaborations with partners and stakeholders committed to digital equity and transformation, we see firsthand how enhanced connectivity fuels long-term community prosperity and well-being. #BroadbandAccess #FTTP #Broadband #ProjectGovernance #DigitalEquity #LastMileConnectivity #EconomicGrowth #DUC #CaliforniaBroadband https://lnkd.in/e4uSGQeg

Affordability stands as the primary barrier to closing the digital divide, as identified by every state. Prioritizing broadband accessibility is essential to fostering inclusive growth and equitable opportunities for all communities. At Digital Ubiquity Capital, we advocate for sustainable broadband strategies that bridge this gap, championing projects that promote affordable access and community resilience. By partnering with leaders in connectivity solutions, we’re working to support initiatives that prioritize affordability, helping to build a robust digital foundation for thriving, future-ready communities. #BroadbandAccess #DigitalEquity #AffordableConnectivity #CommunityDevelopment #DigitalUbiquity https://lnkd.in/gQ97FuJz

Kendall County, Illinois, is taking control of its digital future by building an open-access fiber network that fosters competition, innovation, and long-term economic growth. By investing in this resilient infrastructure, the county is ensuring its residents and businesses have access to fast, reliable connectivity that empowers community development and drives new opportunities. At DUC, we support initiatives like Kendall County’s, where project governance plays a key role in creating open, resilient networks that minimize disruption and enable sustainable digital transformation. Together with partners like Fujitsu, DDN, BrzWire, Nokia, and Deloitte, we help communities build the digital backbone they need to thrive in the modern economy. Kendall County’s approach highlights the benefits of local leadership in broadband infrastructure, creating a model for others to follow in the quest for stronger, more connected communities. #FiberNetwork #ProjectGovernance #OpenAndResilientNetworks #EconomicGrowth #Innovation #DigitalTransformation https://lnkd.in/e8cEMkq8

At Digital Ubiquity Capital (DUC), we believe in creating open and resilient networks that drives competition and minimizes disruption. We're proud to be providing project governance for the Municipality of Pictou County’s (MOPC) groundbreaking rural broadband initiative in Nova Scotia. By welcoming key partners DDN and FONEX to the project team with our partner Fujitsu, we are building a future-proof FTTH network that is already transforming digital access for underserved communities. Together with MOPC, we're fostering long-term economic growth, innovation, and connectivity for the entire region. #Broadband #ProjectGoverance #Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) #DigitalInfrastructure #OpenNetworks #RuralConnectivity #FiberOptics #DigitalInnovation #DUC #MOPC #DDN #FONEX #Fujitsu https://lnkd.in/e7JFrVqW

At DUC (Digital Ubiquity Capital), we believe government broadband funds should be directed toward open networks that enable collaboration and competition while minimizing disruption. This is especially in rural and underserved areas. It's crucial to focus on building resilient, future-proof, and leverage-able digital infrastructure. Open and shared networks foster innovation, ensure fair competition, and give communities access to the high-speed internet they deserve. It’s encouraging to see this approach gaining traction across the USA and Canada. At DUC, we are committed to partnering with municipalities, counties, states, and provinces to develop shared broadband infrastructure that disrupts once, allowing for sustainable growth and greater choice for all. We are committed to helping these networks get built by supplying Digital Infrastructure project governance and financial services.

The Municipality of Pictou County announces a strategic partnership with Fujitsu.

2025 'the year of execution' for BEAD!? 🤔 We think 2025/2026. What do you think? - It's been a year since we found out how much BEAD money each state will get - Only 15 states and territories have had their Initial Proposals approved, unlocking access to BEAD funds https://lnkd.in/exPhA_k6

“I think we're going to continue to see more open access networks show up in the United States for a variety of reasons. I think there'll be some states under the BEAD structure that are probably going to have conditions or expectations for the government subsidized portion of those networks; maybe need to be built with an open access condition on it. I don't think that will be universal." John Stankey, CEO of AT&T DUC agrees that there are many benefits to an Open Access Network and we expect to see more of them over the next five years. The ability to dig and build once, and have a shared communications infrastructure only makes sense. https://lnkd.in/eD_7Zd-R

In today's era of rapid urbanization, the demand for energy is skyrocketing, straining traditional infrastructure worldwide. Cities are innovating to boost efficiency and sustainability, with smart grids and energy management systems leading the way. These technologies leverage advanced fiber optic technology to revolutionize energy generation, distribution, and consumption, enabling precise monitoring, integrating renewables, managing demand response, and enhancing reliability. For instance, the Pecan Street Project in Austin showcased how smart grid research in residential areas, utilizing fiber optic technology alongside smart meters and energy management systems, can inform more sustainable energy practices at the neighborhood level, highlighting the potential for community-driven solutions. Energy management systems, crucial for smart cities' sustainability, employ data analytics and advanced algorithms to regulate consumption across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. By incorporating fiber optic technology and fostering a community-centric approach, these systems offer insights into consumer behavior and facilitate the seamless integration of smart technologies, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable energy practices on a broader scale. hashtag #DUC #DigitalUbiquityCapital #UrbanInnovation #SmartGrids #EnergyManagement #Sustainability #FiberOpticTech #Internet #EarthDay
