Q-Life Network

QualityLife Intergovernmental Agency (QLife) is a collaborative effort of public entities in The Dalles, Oregon, that began in 2002, who created a 17-mile fiber optic loop through the city. The goal is to enhance the region's economic development efforts with a reliable, cost effective, open access link to the Bonneville Power Administration's fiber, which runs through The Dalles. Our vision is for every address in Wasco County can enjoy a higher quality of life and participate in education, healthcare, and the economy through a high speed internet connection at a price point that they can afford. Our mission is to facilitate access to scalable telecommunication infrastructure to enable affordable broadband level Internet across Wasco County much like a public utility.
