1
Open Access
Our open-access network is available on a non-discriminatory basis for competing businesses and service providers to deliver high-capacity broadband and voice services.
2
Public Benefit Broadband Networks
Community by community, NoaNet provides leading-edge solutions to expand broadband access in telemedicine, agriculture, education, public safety, and support rural economic development opportunities. We are committed to our service providers to deliver the best in industry broadband and over-the-top solutions to benefit their business and customers.

Owned by Rural Public Utility Districts
Public Utility Districts are not-for-profit community-owned utilities that provide electric, water, sewer, and wholesale telecommunications services to customers across Washington State. Like our owners, NoaNet is committed to excellent hometown customer service.
4
A Non-Profit Provider
All revenues from selling wholesale services in the open market are put back into the network to fund our mission and ensure fiscal sustainability. NoaNet does not collect tax dollars or subsidies from water or electrical ratepayers.
5
Public Safety Network
Next Generation 911 services are delivered over our statewide highly reliable emergency communications dispatch network. This represents a vital step in addressing the urgent need to improve communications for Washington State’s public safety agencies.
Our Story
NoaNet was formed by Public Utility Districts (PUDs) in Washington State with the mission to bring high-speed telecommunication services to unserved and underserved communities. Today, NoaNet continues to find innovative solutions to bridge the digital divide and help communities grow and prosper through broadband access.

It all comes back to the people
Inclusion and concern for others drive our organization. We recognize that broadband is a utility just like those services that came before it. Every community deserves access for an improved quality of life that affects health, safety, enterprise, and education. We see this on an individual level, where access can make a difference and change a life.
