Genoa: a provisional High Speed NV (BEAD) project in Douglas County

The project is named Genoa, in Douglas County. Closest on this site: the Genoa page. Below is what the record holds for Genoa, in the state's own terms, and what a household there can do while the plan stays a plan.

What does OSIT list for Genoa?

OSIT's data names Digital Technology Solutions INC. Dba DTS Fiber as the subgrantee for Genoa. Its 67 locations are all counted as fiber to the premises, and the anticipated speed in the file is up to 2500/2500 Mbps for each one. The money side for Genoa reads about 563 thousand dollars of BEAD support and about 188 thousand dollars from the subgrantee as match, about 751 thousand dollars in all.

The schedule in the file for Genoa is an estimate: a subaward on September 3, 2025, performance starting October 1, 2025 and ending November 30, 2028, a span of about 3.1 years.

OSIT flags Genoa as a priority broadband project.

How firm is the Genoa project?

Provisional is OSIT's word for the whole list, Genoa included: the plan that NTIA approved, announced January 8, 2026, is subject to NTIA curing and NIST final review and award. The Governor said at the time that deployment of BEAD projects was expected to begin in mid-2026 and that construction would occur over the next four years; Genoa is one of 22 Douglas County projects on that timeline. For Genoa that means the November 2028 end date and the count of 67 locations could both move, and the project could change in shape or in who builds it.

The state's earlier approval, January 16, 2025, was rescinded after NTIA's June 6, 2025 policy notice, and Nevada re-ran its round; the Genoa record here comes from the revised plan.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

How does the file describe the fiber build in Genoa?

In the file, every location in Genoa is a fiber location. The route for Genoa is estimated at 1 mile aerial and 1 mile buried, with 3 estimated jobs; aerial means strung on poles and buried means in the ground.

The anticipated speed of up to 2500/2500 Mbps per location in Genoa is the state's planning figure for the technology, not a measurement and not an offer to a household.

What is Genoa's place in the Douglas County list?

OSIT's file lists 22 projects in Douglas County with 2,042 locations in all, Genoa among them. At 67 locations, Genoa is the 7th largest, about 3 percent of the county's filed locations.

The other fiber to the premises projects the file lists in Douglas County besides Genoa: Topaz Ranch Estates (1,158); Johnson (83); Tramway (37); Ruhenstroth (26). DTS Fiber is also listed, besides Genoa, as the subgrantee for Johnson, Tramway, Ruhenstroth, Carter Springs and 11 more.

Across the six counties' file, 34 projects including Genoa use fiber to the premises. Dividing BEAD support by locations gives about 8,400 dollars per location for Genoa, against about 370 dollars at the low end and about 25,200 dollars at the high end for that technology, which puts it number 8 of 34 on that measure. That Genoa ratio is arithmetic on the file's numbers, not a statement about cost or value.

How can a home in the Genoa area get online now?

The Genoa 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 Genoa plan moves.

For a different kind of option near Genoa, 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 Genoa record.

For a home near Genoa, use the address check or call 775-575-9593, 9 to 5 every day. A person looks at the path from the nearest tower to the roof and calls back; if it looks clear, a technician confirms it at the house, and that answer is for one address, not for the Genoa project.
