Plateau donated 4,500 feet of fiber-optic cable and assisted with connectivity for our new fire station by allowing the Village to use their fiber that crosses NM-6. Plateau is providing internet connectivity to the new Rail Park and a connection to the Village’s network at the Transfer Station. Plateau has and will continue to work with the Village through our MOA to increase the Village’s network capacity and economic opportunities along with providing the fastest internet connection to our residents and businesses.
