Tarana sees more opportunities ahead for urban FWA

Tarana originally made a name for itself deploying fixed wireless access in the rural U.S. Now, the company sees potential for the technology to reach new heights in more urban environments. The company recently launched G2, the next iteration of its FWA platform that offers 6.4 Gbps per sector (that is, the coverage area served by a base station). The increased capacity allows operators to deliver fixed wireless to approximately 2,000 customers per tower, a ratio Tarana CEO Basil Alwan said is ideal for larger internet service providers. Tarana currently has around 300 operator customers, ranging from regional providers such as Nextlink and Watch Communications to the big names like Cox and USCellular.
