Safelink’s Quarterly RDOF Compliance Report

Safelink Internet submitted a quarterly report regarding its progress toward the 20 percent interim service milestone for its Rural Digital Opportunity Fund authorization in Nevada, Study Area Code 559032. Safelink has deployed and verified qualifying voice and broadband service to 296 locations in its Nevada RDOF service area, approximately 10.86 percent of the locations required by the milestone. Safelink’s broader Nevada fiber construction program, which began in 2021 and reached substantial completion in 2026, covered approximately 14,500 locations in the state. Of those, only 296 were RDOF-designated locations within SAC 559032, representing the full extent of RDOF-designated locations that fell within that construction program’s footprint. The remaining RDOF-designated locations required to satisfy the milestone are outside the geographic footprint of that program and have not yet been constructed, which is the primary cause of the shortfall against the milestone.
