Sertex Broadband Solutions establishes Maine regional office

Sidney, ME Sertex Broadband Solutions, a regional leader in fiber optic infrastructure services throughout the Northeast, has opened a new Maine regional office. The facility – located north of Augusta – includes 9,600 s/f of combined indoor and covered storage space, establishing a long-term operational hub for engineering, construction, and logistics activities supporting the Maine Online Optical Statewide Enabling Network (MOOSE Net).

The 14 Pond Rd. property offers significant advantages for a large-scale, multi-year fiber build, including 7,200 s/f of interior warehouse and office space, two loading docks, and exterior laydown space, along with proximity to I-95, Exit 113, enabling efficient deployment of crews and materials throughout central and rural Maine.

“Establishing a regional office shows our long-term commitment to Maine and to the communities MOOSE Net will eventually serve,” said Michael Solitro, founder and CEO. “This facility allows us to mobilize crews, materials, and engineering resources more efficiently as we build critical infrastructure to support Maine’s digital economy.”

Sertex was awarded the MOOSE Net design-build contract in 2025. Under this agreement, Sertex is responsible for constructing 450 miles of MOOSE Net’s 530-mile fiber backbone – critical infrastructure that will bring affordable, reliable broadband access to some of Maine’s most rural and underserved communities.

Sertex’s scope of work includes network design, engineering, and permitting, as well as construction of extended rural fiber spans across the challenging terrain. Installation activities will include aerial and underground construction, fiber splicing and termination, and comprehensive network testing. Construction is expected to span two years, with field crews operating across multiple regions of the state.
