About the Tribal Area

In Wisconsin, this federally recognized tribe uses Menominee Reservation as its main reservation, and it spans about 353 square miles of land plus roughly 7.3 square miles of water. FCC BDC records show 11 fixed providers and 5 mobile providers serving roughly 68 service locations, with current availability of 99.9% at 25/3 Mbps, 91.8% at 100/20, and 13.1% at 1000/100.

Tribal Area Description

A federally recognized tribe in Wisconsin, Menominee is organized around tribal lands. The land base is relevant for broadband planning due to rural service coverage and middle-mile access constraints.
