Timelines are based on the current list of registrations, which changes daily, and the current number of crews working. These dates are for construction progress. The drop brings the fiber line from the mainline to the side of the home and generally follows the path of your electric, overhead, or underground.  Estimated times are for construction only. Installations in the home will follow AFTER construction has been completed, network equipment is installed, tested, and we have confirmed the fiber network and line to your home is operational.

Kalkaska Area Map
Kalkaska Service Area Update

Need to verify which area you are in? Visit the status map and enter your address – we’ll let you know!

Phase 1 fielding is complete in the Kalkaska area, and is now in the design/planning stage.

As a reminder of the overall process: Phase 1 is the fielding and design/planning phase. We have moved fielding into Kalkaska to finish this spring. In this phase, we collect data including the type of residence, pole information, and other data related to infrastructure. This data helps us determine the feasibility and design for expanding Truestream, including mapping out infrastructure needs and how to get the fiber lines to members’ homes.

Phase 2 is the construction of the fiber network. The information gathered during the Phase 1 fielding process, including a proposed budget and map of the mainline fiber route, will be presented to the board. This construction process can be labor intensive because it involves running the fiber line along the electrical path, which includes both underground and overhead electrical lines.

Phase 3 is when we connect homes and businesses to the Truestream network.

We are starting the trunk line fiber construction this year. The trunk line connects all of the electric substations in the service district. While there are no plans for in-home connections in 2023, building the trunk line is a great step towards creating the fiber infrastructure needed to connect future Truestreamers.
