Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program Pre-Registration
Welcome to the Arizona Broadband Access, Equity and Deployment (BEAD) pre-registration page. This platform is designed for broadband providers looking to participate in the BEAD grant offered by the State Broadband Office. Pre-registration is required for all potential applicant's participation in the BEAD program.
Pre-registration is intended to streamline the application process, serving as a gating stage to ensure applicants meet the program’s minimum and mandatory requirements. The State Broadband Office will use the information submitted during pre-registration to assess a potential applicant’s financial, technical, managerial, operational and other capabilities, as outlined in the BEAD Notice of Funding (NOFO) and Arizona's BEAD Initial Proposal Volume II.
To begin, new users must complete the registration process on this page. Your registration will be reviewed by the State Broadband Office. Once approved, you will receive an email providing access to the Arizona BEAD portal. All portal emails will originate from [email protected], please be sure to whitelist this domain.
This portal will serve as your central hub for all interactions, including BEAD grant applications, progress reporting and post-award reimbursements.
