The Nevada Hospital Association proposes to build and operate a statewide telemedicine network to be made available to 37 medical providers throughout the state, with additional capacity for use by public safety agencies,
educational institutions, tribal governments, and last-mile Internet service providers. The Nevada Broadband Telemedicine Initiative aims to construct 224 new miles of fiber network while utilizing an additional 453 miles of
existing fiber and 580 microwave miles to connect the rural hospitals at speeds between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
