Falmouth, Massachusetts-Internet services may get a major boost in Falmouth.

FalmouthNet, Inc. and Tilson signed a contract on Monday for Tilson to create engineering designs for fiber optic Internet access throughout the town. A spokesperson for FalmouthNet stated that the network will provide a reliable, affordable and upgradeable Internet connection for every home and business in Falmouth.

The Massachusetts budget paid for the design of the project and was proposed in the legislature by state senator Susan Moran and state representatives. David Vieira and Dylan Fernandez.

"Supporting the success of FalmouthNet so that we can bring high-quality fiber-optic Internet access to Falmouth has always been one of my top priorities, and I am proud to receive $150,000 in direct funding for this project," Moran said A statement. "The beginning of the FalmouthNet engineering design work marks an important milestone for the project and our community. This is a promising start for a major investment in the future of FalmouthNet."

The engineering design work began immediately. The final report to be released on January 21, 2022 will provide detailed information required to apply for federal and state funding, which may be used for network construction in 2022. Private lenders and investors may also be necessary, which means municipal bonds may be a choice to meet the wishes of voters in Falmouth Town.

Engineering design includes fiber optic wiring plan, available technology evaluation, construction method evaluation, equipment list generation, field work to verify construction parameters, and detailed construction cost estimation.

Vieira said: "This announcement of the Falmouth network engineering phase is an important step forward for Falmouth's future reliable high-speed network." "When many companies and our schools are at the height of the pandemic. When we had to stay away, we witnessed the limitations of current Internet choices."
