valuable skill. All right. So there we are. Um, so Jeff, really appreciate the kind introduction much too kind. So, one of the things I wanted to talk about today was, you know, not just, you know, you know, the things that are happening on the interstate corridors throughout Arizona, the middle mile infrastructure, but some of the other opportunities that that those wanting to provide services to end And users in the state of Arizona can can take take on as a as a resource and maybe utilize in during future endeavors during during BEAD applications or things like that. So, so I'm going to talk about a whole bunch of things. But really, the moral of the story is once they, once they start to overlay on top of each other, you start to see some pretty important things start to happen. And those things are really the things that support Digital Equity and access for all and education, public services, telehealth all those things that are probably near and dear to everybody who's sitting on this call. So with that, I'm just going to jump into it. And at Steve's insistence, I added a little a little love slide about x squared technology. I don't want this to be any any type of self promotion or marketing or anything like that, because this presentation is really meant to be about, you know, what's available to support the citizens of Arizona. X squared technology is a company where a design, build, operate, maintain and commercialize firm. We typically work with our clients, whether that's public or private in a turnkey model. eastward technology is owned by by voracity, it's our parent company, it's owned by Columbia capital, who focuses purely on telecommunications and media infrastructure companies. Not that that's that important, but what it does is they've created by basmati to bring together a fiber infrastructure DB OMC company, and a wireless infrastructure companies called the Terra consulting group who does you know, just about anything and everything as it relates to to wireless infrastructure. Within the markets that we serve, our our value that we bring is we we support open access, you know, we believe in a competitively neutral infrastructure, we're not an infrastructure owner, we're not a carrier or service provider, we really want to reduce the barriers to expansion for all those, you know, ISPs and user providers that are out there. We are model eliminates us from any level of conflict of interest, because we're not advocating on you know, the, on behalf of one group or the other, we just want to see infrastructure put in place that supports, you know, all of the different users and applications throughout the state or whatever region where it's working. The, you know, in Arizona, x squared really started, we did some strategic planning about eight years ago, and we said, you know, this area is in need of help, we think our services can work. And so we started working in earnest, quite a while ago, with the Arizona Hospital and Health Care Association, that morphed into quite a few different things. Right now, there are four commercialization clients in the state, I believe, within the next 60 days, there'll be a couple of more. And what that does is it just starts to put a picture together that creates infrastructure, that's, that's open and available to all. So I don't want to get too too tied into what we do, you know, we'll design it and build it, we'll maintain it for the long haul. And we'll commercialize it and help offset some of those costs, and get some of that, you know, excess capacity into the hands of those who, who can really use it. And that's those existing internet service providers and, and new ones who are looking to go into areas that are completely unserved or even underserved. Alright, so the Arizona Department of Transportation has, you know, they have right away corridor assets, and, you know, primarily for transportation, but there's other things that it needed. So, you know, through some foresight with the Arizona Commerce Authority, and the sun corridor network, and Arizona, transparent Arizona, D. O T, they really started to put together a concept a while back, and what they wanted to do was, you know, while they needed to have infrastructure in place to support Intelligent Transportation, and data sharing amongst, you know, the Transportation Group, they said, how can we serve Arizona, and you've probably all heard that story. But what it is, is it's finally coming to fruition and now it's, it's really out there and available. So as we sit here today, the I 19 portion from the Galus to basically Tucson has been constructed and it's in place, as well as I 17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff. And when I say infrastructure, what that is it's it's five conduits that are available and roughly 144 fibers that are available for service providers to use under long term indefeasible Right of use agreements. I 40 West which is defined from Flagstaff all the way to the California border following the I 40 corridor will be under construction within the next 60 days. It's already completely designed and permitted. And shortly after that I 40 East will follow. So it starts to put, it starts to put a lot of middle mile infrastructure to support programs that are that are essential to, you know, the future of Arizona, such as what's going to be happening with the BEAD program. The although, you know, everything's not done and it doesn't happen all at the same time, you know, some of these key corridors that are ready for use, you know, they're, they're available right now. And, you know, we can we can have those discussions, and we can help the help the interested party start planning and what does that look like, from where do you connect to it? How do you connect to it? How do you regenerate because there are regeneration facilities available for fiber users along there, or for someone who wanted to have, you know, a larger, a larger network, there's those conduits available, all the conduits are capable of holding a 432 cable, our role in that is that we have a 25 year contract, to design or to operate, maintain and commercialize. So we'll be providing all the maintenance, emergency restoration, and everything that goes along with that, as well as you know, facilitating the agreements for all of the end users who will want to use that infrastructure. It is a unique, you know, as a unique situation, and Arizona was very, you know, very smart in the way they started to look at this, and multiple agencies coming together, to do all of the things that that are important to all of us. So, you know, all of these assets right now, whether in development, or currently in the ground and available for use, you know, there's something that I think everyone in the state of Arizona should be proud of, because it's, it's really a, you know, an example of, you know, government agencies working together and doing things very smartly. So, on the on the grand scheme of things, you know, the map here kind of shows what's in place that the darker is what's in place, or is in construction, and everything else along i 10. And I and I 40 West, you know, is planned and, and will be constructed over the next five years. All right, let's go to the next slide. I bring this up, because we have a contract with APS to market their fiber, if they have fiber that's available, it can be a primary route, or I've done it route, it starts to play in very well especially up in, you know, up in that I 40 corridor, providing redundancy for you know, someone who would want to use their as I'm gonna do T fiber or one of the next projects that's, that's really near and dear to me that I that I want to talk about. So, you know, APS, while much of its aerial fiber, and it was very purpose built for their own use, they were they were also available to install excess capacity, especially in the last five or six years, where they looked at it and said, Hey, how can we how can we help, and they made that fiber available. So you know, if you think about maps, that overlay this on the one you just just saw a minute ago, and it starts to put in, you know, infrastructure that's really available to a lot of different user groups that are out there who could use it, both now and into the future.
