Connecting Our CommunitiesThe New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion is at the forefront of coordinating broadband deployment efforts in New Mexico. Established in 2021 by key legislation, including the Broadband Access and Expansion Act (Senate Bill 93) and the Connect New Mexico Act (House Bill 10), our office works closely with various stakeholders to ensure efficient and effective broadband expansion.
As part of our mission, OBAE collaborates with the Connect New Mexico Council and oversees the Connect New Mexico Fund, which received significant appropriations totaling $100 million (Senate Bill 377). Through these legislative mandates and strategic partnerships, OBAE is dedicated to driving equitable broadband solutions, bridging the digital divide, and enhancing connectivity for all New Mexicans.
