Connecting the City of Cleveland with Next-Generation Fixed Wireless

In Cleveland, one of the least connected cities in the nation, families have long struggled with unreliable internet that made streaming, online learning, and even basic connectivity a daily frustration. That’s where DigitalC stepped in with a bold mission: deliver affordable, high-speed internet to every household in the city. But the challenge was steep—Cleveland’s dense trees, older housing, and heavy interference made traditional fixed wireless solutions unreliable at best.

Enter Tarana’s next-generation fixed wireless technology. By using the Gigabit 1 (G1) platform, DigitalC was able to cut through the obstacles that had stopped other providers in their tracks. The results were immediate and life-changing: residents who once had 18 Mbps now enjoy over 300 Mbps, allowing entire families to stream, game, and learn online without buffering. One subscriber put it best: “Now, my whole family uses the internet—even all at the same time—without any problems.” With plans for 120 towers and full citywide coverage in just 18 months, DigitalC isn’t just connecting Cleveland—it’s proving that community-focused innovation can close the digital divide and unlock opportunity for everyone
