Sertex Opens Maine Regional Office to Support Statewide Middle Mile Build
Sidney facility to serve as hub for MOOSE Net engineering and construction
PRESS RELEASE
Plainfield, CT – March 25, 2026 - Sertex Broadband Solutions, a regional leader in fiber optic infrastructure services throughout the Northeast, today announced the opening of a new Maine regional office in Sidney. The facility – located just outside Augusta – includes 9,600 square feet of combined indoor and covered storage space, establishing a long-term operational hub for engineering, construction, and logistics activities supporting the statewide Maine Online Optical Statewide Enabling Network (MOOSE Net).
The Sidney property offers significant advantages for a large-scale, multi-year fiber build, including 7,200 sq ft 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.
