# Indiana Awards $418M Broadband Contracts

Indiana has signed **$418 million** in BEAD-funded contracts with 24 internet service providers to extend high-speed broadband to 122,000 homes and businesses statewide. Providers are contributing more than $300 million in matching funds. Construction on some projects could begin in fall 2026, and all projects are targeted for completion by the end of 2030. Indiana plans a second award round but has not announced its timeline.

- The awards combine federal BEAD funding with substantial provider matching funds, creating work for broadband providers and infrastructure contractors supporting network deployment.
- Companies interested in Indiana’s next round can use the current awards’ statewide reach and 2030 completion target to assess potential service and construction opportunities; the second-round schedule remains unannounced.
