The Challenges
Most of the world still has inadequate access to fast, affordable broadband service — a discrepancy known as the digital divide.
The Solution
ngFWA: Next Generation Fixed Wireless Access
ngFWA is an entirely new technology built from the ground up to deliver reliable residential broadband. Overcoming multiple long-battled industry challenges, ngFWA provides affordable, fiber-class service with the deployment ease and scalability of wireless technology.
Recognizing the scale of the opportunity to address persistent industry challenges in 2009, Tarana’s founders embarked on a mission to design and develop an entirely new wireless broadband technology from scratch. After a decade of R&D and over $400M of investment, enter ngFWA — the next generation of fixed wireless access.
ngFWA overcomes previously insurmountable technology challenges such as radio interference cancellation and reliable connectivity despite physical obstructions, like buildings or trees, amid the wireless link.
For the first time in the broadband industry, ngFWA delivers a truly unique combination of reliable, fiber-class connectivity with the deployment ease and scalability of wireless technology. Our Gigabit 1 (G1) platform is the world’s first instance of ngFWA.
Why It Matters
Closing the digital divide is ever more urgent, as modes of work, education, commerce, health care, and entertainment are increasingly dependent on great connectivity. With an unprecedented amount of government funding allocated to the cause, now is the time to reach the underserved across the globe. Entire communities still on the wrong side of the digital divide are at risk of being permanently left behind.
Historically, consensus has been fiber is the only long-term solution to home broadband despite often prohibitive cost and time to deploy. At times however, technology can deliver all-new possibilities and the arrival of ngFWA is one of those moments. To close the digital divide once and for all, a right-tool-for-the-right-job approach is critical, and our ISP customers are proving that ngFWA is a desperately needed new tool in the broadband access toolbox.
