Technology in Timnath: Broadband, Companies, and Future Growth
Timnath, Colorado, located just east of Fort Collins, is one of Northern Colorado’s fastest-growing communities. The town is undergoing a significant technological transformation, with the centerpiece being a major investment in public broadband infrastructure, complemented by a growing presence of technology companies and innovation-driven employers.
The Pulse Broadband Project: Timnath’s Digital Backbone
The most significant technology development in Timnath is the partnership with Pulse Fiber Internet, a community-owned communications utility owned by the City of Loveland. Pulse was selected as the town’s official broadband service provider following a thorough feasibility study.
Project Timeline and Milestones
What Pulse Delivers
Pulse will deliver a comprehensive suite of telecommunications services to Timnath, including:
- Internet: Fiber-to-the-premise connections offering multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds (up to 10 Gbps), unlimited data, and no speed throttling
- WiFi: Whole-home managed WiFi with adaptive mesh network options
- PulseTV: Streaming television service with 170+ channels, Cloud DVR, and seamless integration
- Voice Services: Unlimited local and long-distance calling for residential subscribers
Investment and Financial Structure
Timnath is funding the initial buildout using $20 million in capital improvement funds. Under the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), Pulse will return 25% of gross internet income to the Town of Timnath. This equates to a 2% to 6% return on capital investment over 20 to 30 years, with full payback projected within 26 years.
Town Manager Aaron Adams emphasized the importance of this investment: “This project is about more than just internet access. It’s an investment in our future, ensuring that we have the infrastructure in place to support economic growth, attract new residents and businesses, and improve quality of life for everyone in Timnath”.
Current Status and Availability
As of April 2025, Pulse activated its first business customer in Timnath: Dean Contracting. Currently, 400 to 500 Timnath residences have access to Pulse, with full town coverage expected within four years. The first phase of construction is expected to take between six to nine months.
