The project is named Topaz Ranch Estates, in Douglas County. Closest on this site: the Topaz Ranch Estates page. Below is what the record holds for Topaz Ranch Estates, 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 Topaz Ranch Estates?

OSIT's data names Satview Broadband Ltd as the subgrantee for Topaz Ranch Estates. Its 1,158 locations are all counted as fiber to the premises, and the anticipated speed in the file is up to 300/50 Mbps for each one. The money side for Topaz Ranch Estates reads about 2.5 million dollars of BEAD support and about 875 thousand dollars from the subgrantee as match, about 3.3 million dollars in all.

The schedule in the file for Topaz Ranch Estates is an estimate: a subaward on September 3, 2025, performance starting October 1, 2025 and ending June 1, 2026, a span of about 8 months. That Topaz Ranch Estates end date has already passed, and the file does not report progress, so it is a planning date from the state's plan and not a finish line anyone has confirmed.

OSIT flags Topaz Ranch Estates as a priority broadband project. The file also says Topaz Ranch Estates intersects tribal land, with the consent name Washoe Ranches, and that is all this page says about it.

How firm is the Topaz Ranch Estates project?

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

The practical reading for the Topaz Ranch Estates project: Satview Broadband is the listed subgrantee today, 1,158 locations is today's count, and neither is final. No page on this site, and nothing in the Topaz Ranch Estates file, says that a particular home will be reached.
