Matthew DeHaven has assisted in the planning and deployment of dozens of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks for public sector clients, working on system-level designs and cost estimates as well as providing detailed engineering and construction oversight.

He managed the project that built CTC’s proprietary GOeS model, which incorporates economic, financial, topographical, and field data to produce what CTC believes is the most useful fiber network cost estimate available. The GOeS model is used by clients of all to estimate fiber broadband deployment costs, including state broadband offices that CTC is assisting with Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program implementation.

For California’s multi-billion-dollar Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative, Matt has worked on details including procurement strategy, network planning, and construction oversight.

Matt led the fiber broadband project in Holland, Michigan, where CTC oversaw the design-build contractor and coordinated a supply chain management project under which the city purchased and warehoused critical broadband construction inputs during a period of scarcity and long lead times.

He managed CTC’s work for the City of Westminster, Maryland, that pioneered the public-private partnership model where the city owns the fiber network infrastructure. His team created a financial model that incorporated the take-rate necessary for sustainability. CTC designed the fiber drops connecting every home and oversaw the construction contractors.

Earlier, Matt served on the grant application development team that successfully led the State of Maryland to a $115 million Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) awards from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and became the Portfolio Manager for the One Maryland Inter-County Broadband Network (ICBN) BTOP grant project.
