As a service provider working to close America’s rural digital divide, you know genuine advances in wireless technology could make all the difference.  In this interactive webinar, you’ll learn how collaboration between Wisper Internet, Tarana, and Google validated true breakthroughs in fixed wireless that surpass 5G and enable whole new classes of rural service, changing the stakes for CAF-II and RDOF deployments.  Wisper CEO Nathan Stooke, Tarana VP of Product Rakesh Tiwari, and Google BD Lead Rob Katcher will give you exclusive insights into:

  • The revolutionary economics of Tarana’s Gigabit 1 system — powered by industry firsts in distributed massive MIMO silicon integration, non-line-of-sight performance, spectral efficiency, and interference cancellation — substantially reducing your network costs while raising service levels,
  • Google’s RF planning tool that gives you data-driven confidence to roll trucks (only once!) for G1 installations, and
  • Results from Wisper’s tough evaluation of G1 in a range of challenging rural-Illinois deployments
