Broadband/Fixed Wireless Partnership Will Connect Osage Nation

A partnership between Osage Broadband in Oklahoma and Tarana, a fixed wireless technology provider, will bring broadband to 2,300 square miles of underserved and indigenous communities in Osage County. This broadband/fixed wireless partnership will combine technologies to deliver high-speed broadband connections to the residents and businesses of Osage County. Osage Broadband and their partner AtLink Services will provide connectivity—via fiber, in most cases—to Tarana’s towers. From there, Tarana’s end-to-end next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) system will deliver a connection to homes and businesses wirelessly. Most people in the area are currently served by no better than 25/3 Mbps connections. After the broadband/fixed wireless network upgrade, connections will feature speeds of more than 400 Mbps.
