Siuslaw Broadband starts Hyak Fiber pilot project St. Mary’s Women’s Guild
to host Fall Bazaar
On Oct. 16, Siuslaw
Broadband, a Florence-based
ISP and technology company,
hit two key milestones:
Florence
City
Council
approved the sale of Lot 23 in
the Pacific View Business Park
and Siuslaw Broadband broke
ground on its fiber pilot proj-
ect, named Hyak.
“The Pacific View Business
Park lot will give a home to our
fiber hut, which is just a fancy
word for a concrete shed,” said
Robbie Wright, founder and
CEO of Siuslaw Broadband. “It
will house our headend equip-
ment and be the location where
all of the installed fiber comes
back to. The lot also gives us
great flexibility in our future
building use.
“While we have no immedi-
ate plans to build a large build-
ing, the lot gives us the ability
to create a yard for storage of
our conduit, park vehicles,
etc.”
Neil Ecker, COO of Siuslaw
Broadband, said, “Fiber is the
future of communication and
high speed internet. The Hyak
Fiber Project is installing
industry-leading gigabit and 10
gigabit service to the pilot proj-
ect area and will have one of
the cheapest gigabit internet
options in the nation at
$49.99/month.”
The Hyak project will have
both active ethernet (AE) and
GPON (gigabit passive optical
network).
“We are taking a dedicated
fiber to each residence and
business and wiring the project
as if we were doing AE. Most
residential networks use GPON
to save on numerous different
expenses,” Ecker said. “We
chose to wire the city for AE to
give us greater flexibility in
service delivery.”
As anyone in Florence
knows, the weather can play a
role in any type of outdoor
project.
On Saturday, Nov. 4, the St.
Mary’s Women's Guild will
host its annual Fall Bazaar
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
There will be a gift basket
raffle and cash-prize raffles
totaling $800.
In addition to handmade gift
baskets, there will be a sweet
shoppe, handcrafted items,
plants, games, toys, books,
puzzles and Fair Trade items.
Mexican food from local
restaurants will be available,
along with pie by the slice and
free coffee.
St. Mary’s Catholic Church
is located south of the Siuslaw
River Bridge, 85060 Highway
101 S.

Siuslaw Broadband is beginning road construc-
tion on its new fiber project. The pilot area
(right) encompasses Pacific View Business Park
and residential areas.
Siuslaw Broadband will be
working through the coming
weeks to complete the road
construction portion of the
project.
The project mainly encom-
passes the Pacific View
Business Park on Kingwood,
the residential areas on 15th
Street east to the
Boys and Girls Club, and west
of the airport into Park Village.
Siuslaw Broadband expects
to be bringing customers live
on the new network in the first
weeks of December.
“Our office on Highway 101
meets our needs today, but I
can pretty easily see a new
warehouse and office complex
needed in the future at our new
lot,” said Wright.
