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

The file's area name is Johnson, under Douglas County. Closest on this site: the Johnson Lane page. The Johnson record is short, so this page sets it beside the other Douglas County projects and explains the words in it.

What is filed for the Johnson project?

Filed under Douglas County, the Johnson project carries 83 locations, every one of them fiber to the premises, and Digital Technology Solutions INC. Dba DTS Fiber as the listed subgrantee. The speed the file anticipates for Johnson is up to 2500/2500 Mbps per location. BEAD support for Johnson comes to about 435 thousand dollars and the match to about 145 thousand dollars.

The schedule in the file for Johnson 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.

The file marks Johnson a priority broadband project.

How settled is the plan for Johnson?

The state's data calls the status of Johnson provisional, and NTIA's overview says its figures are subject to change pending NTIA curing and NIST final review and award. Nevada's first approval, on January 16, 2025, was rescinded on June 6, 2025, and the revised plan was approved on January 8, 2026, so the list that holds Johnson has moved before.

The Governor's statement, which covers Johnson along with every other project, said deployment was expected to begin in mid-2026 and construction would occur over the next four years. Dates in the file, like the November 2028 estimate for Johnson, are planning numbers and not a schedule a household can plan around.

What does the fiber work look like in the file for Johnson?

The route estimate is the plainest hint of scale for Johnson: 1 mile of aerial fiber, 1 mile of buried fiber and 2 estimated jobs for 83 locations. It is an estimate in a plan for Johnson, not a survey of any street.

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

How does Johnson compare with the other projects in Douglas County?

OSIT's file lists 22 projects in Douglas County with 2,042 locations in all, Johnson among them. At 83 locations, Johnson is the 6th largest, about 4 percent of the county's filed locations.

That Johnson ratio is arithmetic on the file's numbers, not a statement about cost or value.

What can a household near Johnson do today?

Nothing in the Johnson file changes today's choices in Douglas County, so a household can keep the service it has and look at others. The FCC's National Broadband Map at broadbandmap.fcc.gov shows what providers report at an address, and the state's Johnson listing is a separate record. Neither one is a promise.

High Desert Internet, a fixed wireless provider open since August 2002, is a separate option for a home near Johnson in Douglas County: its three published plans are on the cards below, and whether a tower can see a roof is decided address by address.

Send the street address through the address check, or call 775-575-9593 between 9 and 5; the Johnson 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 Johnson is given before that look.
