InCoax Networks announces a successful collaboration with Tarana Wireless and DigitalC, leading to the rapid deployment of high-speed broadband in Cleveland, Ohio. This project showcases the potential of InCoax’s MoCA Access technology to meet the growing demand for reliable, high-speed internet – without the cost or complexity of full fiber installations.
Led by DigitalC, a non-profit technology social enterprise dedicated to closing the digital divide, the project sought to deliver affordable, high-speed internet to Cleveland, one of the least connected cities in the U.S. To accomplish this, DigitalC turned to InCoax and Tarana for their cutting-edge technologies. The collaboration enabled fiber-class broadband deployment at a fraction of the time and cost usually associated with fiber installations, demonstrating the scalability and future-proof capabilities of InCoax’s MoCA Access technology and Tarana’s next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) solution, “G1.”
By leveraging MoCA Access and G1, DigitalC successfully connected tenants in these multi-dwelling units (MDUs) by utilizing existing in-building coaxial cabling, and ngFWA links to each individual MDU, significantly reducing the need for new construction and minimizing disruptions to tenants – an essential feature for cost-effective deployment and shorter time to revenue.
“By partnering with InCoax and Tarana, we are delivering the internet experience that Cleveland deserves – one that offers choice and superior connectivity,” said Jose Valdez, Chief Operating Officer of DigitalC. “This project is transformative for the community at Lakeview Terrace, driving growth and opportunity. We are proud to collaborate with the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority to remove limits and create winning outcomes for residents.”
With more than 250 operators across 45 U.S. states and 24 countries, Tarana Wireless has revolutionized fixed wireless technology by overcoming industry challenges – such as radio interference or physical obstructions – enabling fiber-class performance in urban environments. Together, InCoax and Tarana are providing a faster way to expand broadband access, driving digital inclusion more cost-effectively.
This collaboration between InCoax, Tarana, and DigitalC exemplifies how innovative technologies can close the digital divide, delivering affordable, high-speed internet to underserved communities.
