Acorn Wireless was launched in 2020 by the Hoopa Valley Public Utilities District (HVPUD)—a chartered entity of the Hoopa Valley Tribe—using CARES Act funding approved by the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council. Initially created to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Acorn Wireless enabled distance learning, remote work, and access to telemedicine through reliable wireless broadband.
A fiber optic network project led by HVPUD in collaboration with the CA Department of Technology. The mission of the California SB 156 Middle Mile Broadband Initiative is to build an open-access middle-mile fiber optic network that serves as a high-capacity “backbone” for last-mile connections, in order to close the digital divide and improve broadband equity across California.
A federally funded project to support Tribal governments in building robust, modern networks to bring reliable broadband access to unserved and underserved Native American communities.
With the completion of these two projects, Acorn Connected will offer direct broadband service to homes, businesses, and community facilities.
We’re committed to:
Acorn Connected reflects our broader mission to be the Tribe’s main provider of communication and technology services across the region. With this next phase, we remain committed to community ownership, affordability, and building the infrastructure our community needs to thrive. By supporting Acorn Connected, you’re also supporting a tribally owned business that creates local jobs for Tribal members and invests in Indigenous-led solutions for long-term connectivity.
