360 Broadband touts 1,600 locations with Tarana equipment360 Broadband touts 1,600 locations with Tarana equipment

360 Broadband, a seasoned internet service provider covering three southern states, and Tarana, creator of next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) technology, today shared a progress update on their ngFWA-powered broadband network in Oklahoma. Now just nine months into deployment, 360 Broadband has connected more than 1,600 homes and businesses with reliable, high-speed internet — a few hundred of which are brand new locations they weren’t able to serve with legacy fixed wireless equipment.

Tarana's G1 broadband platform is the world’s first instance of ngFWA. Overcoming long-fought industry challenges, G1 maintains high performance despite radio interference and physical obstructions amid the wireless link, enabling internet service providers to deliver fiber-class service with wireless network economics. 360 Broadband is one of more than 250 operators globally that are leveraging ngFWA to optimize their networks and grow their businesses.

Not only is the technology's unprecedented performance in challenging environments enabling the 360 team to cover hundreds of previously unreachable locations with quality broadband, but it has also allowed them to improve their service offerings at scale.

Earlier this year, they highlighted Tarana ngFWA's capabilities in a brief demo video. One rural customer had service speed limited to just 22 Mbps on a 3GPP broadband solution — with Tarana, their service improved to 340 Mbps. Another ngFWA link featured in the video delivered 220 Mbps despite thick trees that rendered the 4.4-mile connection fully non-line-of-sight (NLoS).
