Plan for Success
The RDOF framework will be a multi-round,
reverse clock auction format like the Connect
America Fund (CAF) Phase II auction format.
The total amount of support available will
decrease in each round. Bidding is certain to
be competitive, but with thorough planning
and the right deployment architecture you can
win. Our team is available to assist you.
FCC Rural Digital Opportunity Fund

• Phase I: Up to $16B (Auction 904)
