Location and Network Planning Analytics Bolster Winning Bid

Somerset, New Jersey – February 17, 2021VCTI, the broadband network experts, today announced that GeoLinks, the fastest growing telecommunications company in California, utilized VCTI’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) Planning Service in being named a provisional winner in the RDOF auction.

GeoLinks employed VCTI’s RDOF Planning Service to determine its deployment options across fiber, fixed wireless, and hybrid architectures for the recent Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) RDOF auction. The company was named a provisional winner of $234.9 million in the FCC RDOF Phase I auction, announced in December 2020.

In a short timeframe, we were able to produce accurate location analysis with cost modeling to be applied across three entire states,” said Raj Singh, CEO, VCTI. “Our team was able to quickly scrub location data, inspect terrains, and identify the most profitable targets for fiber so that GeoLinks had the analysis they needed to bid on time confidently.”

“The analysis provided by VCTI on locations and deployment costs was invaluable to our successful bid strategy,” said Skyler Ditchfield, co-founder, and CEO of GeoLinks. “The VCTI team provided us the insights we needed to bid with confidence, and VCTI’s customer service equipped us to use the planning tool with ease.”
