Tarana is redefining broadband connectivity with next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) solutions. Its mission is to accelerate the deployment of fast, affordable and reliable Internet access worldwide. Backed by over a decade of research and development, Tarana delivers innovative technology that expands Fixed Wireless Access in both mainstream and underserved markets using licensed and unlicensed spectrum.

What is Tarana's differentiation? 
Designed specifically for ngFWA from the ground up, Tarana's solution delivers fiber-class broadband over non-line-of-sight links, in unlicensed spectrum (enabled by a true industry first in interference cancellation), at a fraction of fiber’s cost and deployment time. Our network economics are 3x better than 5G at FWA.

What is Tarana's advantage?
(1) Numerous substantive and well-patented inventions in wireless signal processing.
(2) custom silicon essential to G1’s economics that would take others multiple years to replicate (which couldn’t start till after they catch up on item 1
(3) meanwhile, we’re aggressively developing our next platform and inventing even more incredible new approaches to wireless performance.

Why not fiber? 
Fiber is great when you can string it for free on power or telephone poles (or trees, in the developing world). In most other situations, though, installing fiber is harder and more time-consuming than desired. Fiber plus Tarana is a much better plan.

Why not 5G?
The 3GPP 4G and 5G standards were architected to serve a few gigabytes/month to mobile devices in expensive licensed mid-band spectrum. As a result, 3GPP network economics are inherently incompatible with the delivery of the currently terabyte-scale monthly tonnage demanded by typical fixed household subscribers. Outside small-household pockets in secondary markets with low mobile spectrum loading, mobile operator prioritization of fixed service in licensed spectrum (with ~50x lower ARPU per GB consumed) cannot be justified in the long term.

Why not satellite?
Despite lots of excitement about Starlink and its companions in the low-earth orbit scene, the raw realities of broadband demand density in mainstream markets and resulting network capacity requirements are generally beyond the reach of satellite ventures. Given LEO systems’ orbital geometry, capacity, and coverage area per satellite along with the unavoidable fact that 71% of the planet is covered by water their utility in closing the world’s residential digital divide will be limited to areas with fewer than 1 HH per square km. This puts the LEOs in a useful but necessarily peripheral role for closing the global divide at scale.

Why not solutions using Wi-Fi technology? 
Wi-Fi suppliers enthusiastically advertise the very high link speeds theoretically achievable with Wi-Fi 6 and 7. In the real world of outdoor applications, neither 6 nor 7 adds the core capabilities required to deliver reliable fiber-class broadband at scale in unlicensed spectrum, particularly regarding self- and external interference mitigation.
