rural broadband revenues
  • ENJOYING FASTER REVENUES

It’s a common conundrum. Your rural broadband subscribers are simply spread too far and wide to justify the expense and time to trench for fiber. An all-wireless network can offer a low CAPEX, AND you can have the network up and running in as little as a few weeks.

Alternatively, when fiber is available in parts of your coverage area, a hybrid wireless network might make sense to reach additional subscribers in further out locations. Either way, a wireless solution is almost always the way to go when you need to see revenues quickly.

  • Easy to plan, easy to deploy networks
  • Fraction of the time to deploy fiber
  • Quickly added geographical coverage for fast revenue growth
  • Small footprint and simplified architecture
  • Added capacity on existing infrastructure
  • Large inventory ready for immediate delivery

  • RURAL BROADBAND FUNDING

You want to offer the fastest, best connectivity to your rural subscribers, but the costs of modernizing today can feel a bit overwhelming to shoulder on your own. Sound familiar? 

Fortunately, governments around the world are recognizing the need for better broadband solutions for rural areas and are making room in their budgets for rural broadband expansion through various public funding opportunities. Current examples of these programs include the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) or Tribal Connectivity programs in U.S., or the European Regional Development (ERDF) fund in Europe. 

The need is clear. Global citizens, no matter where they reside, need and deserve high-speed rural internet access to participate fully in today’s digital economy. With the help of these rural broadband funding opportunities, operators and service providers can have a huge impact on bridging the digital divide.
