Stillwater: a provisional High Speed NV (BEAD) project in Churchill County

The file names Stillwater and files it under Churchill County. Closest on this site: the Fallon page. Below is what the record holds for Stillwater, in the state's own terms, and what a household there can do while the plan stays a plan.

What does the state's record say about Stillwater?

The file counts 68 locations in the Stillwater project and names Amazon Kuiper Commercial Services, which is how OSIT's Final Proposal data words it: Amazon Kuiper Commercial Services is listed as the subgrantee for Stillwater. The technology for every one of the 68 locations is low-earth-orbit satellite. The file anticipates up to 100/20 Mbps per location for Stillwater. BEAD support is about 41 thousand dollars, and the subgrantee match is about 14 thousand dollars, which puts the filed total at about 54 thousand dollars.

The schedule in the file for Stillwater is an estimate: a subaward on September 3, 2025, performance starting October 1, 2025 and ending January 31, 2027, a span of about 15 months. That end date for Stillwater is close, and it is still an estimate; the file does not report progress.

The file does not mark Stillwater a priority broadband project. The file also says Stillwater intersects tribal land, with the consent name Fallon/Fallon Colony, and that is all this page says about it.

How settled is the plan for Stillwater?

The approval behind Stillwater has two steps left. NTIA approved Nevada's revised Final Proposal and the state announced it on January 8, 2026, but the awards, the Stillwater one among them, stay subject to NTIA curing and NIST final review and award. Until then OSIT lists each project as provisional.

The state's earlier approval, January 16, 2025, was rescinded after NTIA's June 6, 2025 policy notice, and Nevada re-ran its round; the Stillwater record here comes from the revised plan. So treat every Stillwater figure on this page as the plan as of October 15, 2026, when the files were read.

What would low-earth-orbit satellite mean for the 68 locations?

All 68 locations in Stillwater are filed as low-earth-orbit satellite. That means a dish at the home talking to satellites in a low orbit, so the need at each Stillwater home is open sky, and the file lists 3 estimated jobs for the work.

The anticipated speed of up to 100/20 Mbps per location in Stillwater is the state's planning figure, not a measurement and not an offer to a household. This page gives no latency number for Stillwater, because the file gives none.

What is Stillwater's place in the Churchill County list?

OSIT's file lists 3 projects in Churchill County with 1,078 locations in all, Stillwater among them. At 68 locations, Stillwater is the smallest, about 6 percent of the county's filed locations.

The other low-earth-orbit satellite projects the file lists in Churchill County besides Stillwater: Sheckler Reservoir (125). Amazon Kuiper is also listed, besides Stillwater, as the subgrantee for Sheckler Reservoir.

Across the six counties' file, 17 projects including Stillwater use low-earth-orbit satellite. Dividing BEAD support by locations gives about 600 dollars per location for Stillwater, against about 600 dollars at the low end and about 3,800 dollars at the high end for that technology, which puts it number 4 of 17 on that measure. That Stillwater ratio is arithmetic on the file's numbers, not a statement about cost or value.

What can a household near Stillwater do today?

The Stillwater file is a plan, so a home near it has no reason to hold off. Look up the address on the FCC's National Broadband Map at broadbandmap.fcc.gov, compare what providers report, and keep whatever service works while the Stillwater plan moves.

For a different kind of option near Stillwater, High Desert Internet works by fixed wireless from towers, a radio link that needs a clear path to the roof; its plan cards are below this Stillwater record.

Send the street address through the address check, or call 775-575-9593 between 9 and 5; the Stillwater listing changes nothing about that check. Someone reviews the path from a tower to your roof and phones you, and a technician confirms at the house if it looks clear; no answer about an address near Stillwater is given before that look.
