OFS listed with Rural Development Utilities Program
By Cory Hopkins
Georgia-based fiber optic manufacturer OFS, which operates a facility in Sturbridge, said today that one of its newest products has been included on a list of approved telecom products that can be purchased with federal loan money.
Inclusion of the company's Orbital fiber distribution cabinet on the USDA's Rural Development Utilities Program List of Materials means that qualifying rural telecom companies and municipalities may purchase the equipment with long-term, low-interest loans sponsored by the federal government.
The program is designed to enable rural customers to have the same access to the latest technologies as larger-market residents, the company said.
