Bluepeak has committed an additional $150 million to expand fiber-to-the-home broadband across South Dakota, increasing the company’s planned statewide reach to more than 175,000 households and businesses.
The expansion will extend FTTH service in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Vermillion, and additional communities. The project will also replace legacy infrastructure and increase network capacity to support higher demand.
Bluepeak has already invested more than $95 million to deploy FTTH access for approximately 55,000 residents and businesses in the state. The company has also expanded its backbone network and upgraded regional and metro fiber systems.
The new $150 million investment is a privately funded, multi-year build. Construction will proceed in phases, with timelines varying by community as network design and permitting advance.
Once completed, the expanded network will provide higher-capacity broadband service to residential and commercial users across South Dakota, supporting digital access in both urban and rural areas.
