Funds have already been released and construction will commence soon.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cBringing fiber broadband services to this region will be a game-changer, bringing residents an essential service that will better enable them to work, learn and communicate from home, all while driving economic development opportunities for the community,\u201d said Terry Stout, CEO and General Manager of HREA. \u201cIt is thrilling to collaborate with public and private partners like DZS who are dedicated to providing the resources, technology and know-how to bridge the digital divide that still persists in the U.S. today, but was really brought into focus by the Covid pandemic. A high-quality broadband connection has emerged as a vital utility to all Americans today, and just like when we first brought electricity to our rural region in the 1930s, we are stepping up to deliver what has become an equally essential service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Expected over the next three years, HREA and Digital Connections will pull fiber optic cable to residents and businesses across the utility\u2019s service area, leveraging Gigabyte Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology and world-class solutions from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=kV4UCpMUWf5Kkz5c8nRMMMgGBtgqg9bWPeRd1gVRn4r4CoTRM2fyNx82LwU1QnIB6kVBqc0siFnyZ9uBid8acg==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DZS Velocity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=uvDL07msnt_oNc0kDxsxjKZh-wI59SN7tVrAPg-NabcwXgiZEV4ykQbwRWChBT47WdoGdWZaw98l1ZeF3yHyww==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DZS Helix<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=BCyawcxB7GF0tnvKwH_LYbGNT3zyOp0_edsh-sWNd-KhqnXvxLmuubEWN44OIkLcbtPYkf-onjKxiYa8RSWQaA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DZS Cloud<\/a> portfolios.

Electric cooperatives are in many communities the ideal vehicles to bring hyper-broadband to unserved and underserved areas because these companies already have a head start on the necessary infrastructure and expertise to deliver fiber-based broadband, such as access to poles for stringing new fiber cables, customer service and billing experience, rights-of-way for rapid deployment, and even in some cases fiber already deployed. Perhaps even more importantly, they are in many cases closely tied to the economic viability of their communities and have an appetite for projects with longer-term payback horizons, making them well suited for fiber access buildouts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cAs a technology partner to rural broadband development programs around both the U.S. and around the world, DZS is honored to help put world-class FTTP network infrastructure in place in previously unserved and underserved West Virginia communities,\u201d said Jay Hilbert, Vice President of AEMEA Sales at DZS. \u201cAs one of the few U.S.-based fiber access systems vendors, and with products designed and manufactured in America, DZS is committed to helping bridge the digital divide across all 50 states by partnering with service providers as they build, evolve and manage their networks and connect rural consumers. HREA\u2019s success exemplifies the opportunity that electric cooperatives and other regional service providers have to build local support for advanced broadband services, obtain and leverage state and national funding, and to transform their communities through the power of broadband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information regarding DZS and its fiber access solutions, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=h82_p1w2WOfOncbuvnBrCKASPC0e3MTOo3Z5r-VBPSvD2rNql3EtSr73LPHtXNcecVJI5MTZq7dLKc3RVAgTbKysBC8S81rLvXI0lF38Xg4=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/dzsi.com\/fttx\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Harrison Rural Electrification Association<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Harrison Rural Electrification Association, Inc.
