What does the state's BEAD plan say about Topaz Ranch Estates?

Nevada's BEAD plan, which NTIA approved on January 8, 2026 after rescinding the first approval in June 2025, lists Satview Broadband as subgrantee for a Topaz Ranch Estates project of 1,158 locations of fiber to the premises (OSIT data, read 10/15/26). OSIT's estimate for the project's end is June 1, 2026, a date that has passed, and the program is provisional and subject to change pending NTIA and NIST review, so what is built on your street today is a question for broadbandmap.fcc.gov and for Satview. High Desert is not a subgrantee. See the Topaz Ranch Estates BEAD page.
