Winncom Technologies Launches BEAD Grant Writing Reimbursement Program to Help Navigate Major Federal Policy Shift

SOLON, Ohio, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 6, 2025, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, announced sweeping revisions to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program. The changes—outlined in a new Policy Notice—eliminate the previous fiber-only preference in favor of a technology-neutral framework. For the first time, providers using Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), satellite, and hybrid models will be evaluated on equal footing with fiber networks.

While these changes reduce regulatory burdens and open the door to innovation, they also require that all previously submitted BEAD proposals be revised and resubmitted—within just 90 days. For many providers, that is a logistical and financial challenge.

To meet this moment, Winncom Technologies is expanding its BEAD Grant Writing Assistance Program with a new reimbursement model. Customers who leverage Winncom's in-house team for grant writing support will now receive a 75% credit toward product purchases across its entire vendor portfolio, effectively reducing the upfront risk of applying.

"BEAD applicants are under pressure to rework plans quickly—and in many cases, completely rethink their deployment strategy," said VP of Sales & Business Development at Winncom Technologies. "We built our reimbursement model so that service providers can pivot confidently, without the high financial burden that usually comes with hiring a grant writer."

Winncom's program, originally launched in early 2024, has already guided dozens of ISPs, rural cooperatives, and municipal utilities through the application process. With the new NTIA rules prioritizing performance and cost-efficiency over fiber exclusivity, Winncom's multi-technology expertise—spanning FWA, and fiber—positions it as a strategic partner in this next phase of BEAD funding.

"This isn't just about writing a grant—it's about helping our customers win," adds Aaron Savy. "Whether you're re-submitting a fiber build or now considering Fixed Wireless Access (3.5GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz, 60GHz) for the first time, our team is here to help you put together a competitive, compliant application before the clock runs out."
