unWired Broadband last month inaugurated their NextGen Fiber network in Wasco, Calif., marking the start of a planned $10 million upgrade to the city’s internet infrastructure.
Company executives, contractor Crown Communications Engineering and representatives from the City of Wasco, Kern County Board of Supervisors, the office of Congressman David Valadao and Assemblywoman Jasmeet Kaur Bains all attended a ribbon-cutting, held by unWired Broadband Sept. 25, alongside local business owners and residents.
Wasco is located in California’s San Joaquin Valley.
Jon Majors, unWired’s vice president of operations, said the fiber-to-the-home network will deliver “world-class speeds and rock-solid reliability” to every resident when the project is complete.
“Simple. Fast. Reliable. Those words are more than a slogan; they are the standard we hold ourselves to every day,” Majors said. “Now we bring that promise to Wasco with this fiber-to-the-home network.”
unWired also says the NextGen Fiber service will offer symmetrical speeds, no data caps, and tailored solutions for commercial and multi‑family customers, with installations already underway in select neighborhoods.
The company expects the buildout to finish by February 2026.
Meanwhile, the rollout reflects unWired’s broader strategy to expand high-speed connectivity in Central and Northern California. unWired, which operates both fiber and a fixed wireless network of more than 200 towers, said it has focused on areas often overlooked by traditional providers since 2003.
