To Our Customers

Reference: The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program This is to certify that our fiber optic cables, including our InSky OPGW, InAir ADSS, InDuct OSP, and InArmor OSP cables, meet the Build America Buy America (BABA) requirements of the BEAD program. We manufacture these cables in our Grapevine, Texas facility.

Please note that we do need you to let us know during the quotation process that your cable must meet the BABA requirements. This is so that we can inform Corning. They have committed to supply fiber made in one of their North Carolina facilities using US-made preforms whenever we inform them that a specific order for fiber must comply with the BABA requirements. This provides an extra measure of assurance.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Sincerely,
Mike Riddle
President
