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.
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.
