"A major element of the donation will be an expansion of DigitalC's use of next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) equipment from Tarana. The service offers symmetrical speeds as fast as 100 Mbps. "This meaningful investment from GFiber adds bandwidth to our capacity to scale the Cleveland Model," DigitalC CEO Joshua Edmonds said in a press release about the Google Fiber donation. :This community-based blueprint proves that next-generation technology can be deployed quickly, trusted deeply, and scaled effectively to deliver the superior internet experience more communities deserve."
"Private LTE is an approach in which a network operator or enterprise installs its own base stations that are distinct from public LTE networks. At the time it launched, DigitalC said it would use Nokia's Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) offering, which includes indoor and outdoor customer premises equipment, a network core and radio access."
Google Fiber provided a $500,000 in-kind donation to DigitalC to expand next-generation fixed wireless access deployments using Tarana equipment, offering symmetrical speeds up to 100 Mbps. DigitalC launched in 2021 with a goal of using private LTE over the Citizens Broadband Radio Service to support internet service in low-income Cleveland neighborhoods and planned to use Nokia's Digital Automation Cloud for core and radio access. DigitalC connected its 6,000th household in Cleveland. Fixed wireless access reduces trenching needs and enables lower-cost deployments. Microsoft Airband and satellite partnerships represent parallel initiatives to reach unserved areas.
