Private wireless networks offer tribal communities more than just broadband internet access; they provide sovereign control over network and data infrastructure for today’s needs and future requirements.
For tribal communities with multiple needs and requirements from one network, a Private Wireless Network provides flexibility, adding new services, and more than a fixed access network (fiber or wireless), cannot do.
A Private Wireless Network is Designed, Developed, and Operated Specifically for the Unique Needs of Each Tribal Nation
Private Wireless is deployed by organizations as diverse as schools, enterprises, mines, and municipal governments.

These next-generation networks are well-suited for a wide range of different devices,

The Biden Administration and other Federal and State agencies have sought to correct an injustice to Native Americans: the glaring lack of broadband access to the internet for Indigenous Peoples living on one of the 574 federally recognized Tribes on 334 reservations, in 35 states, on 100 million acres of land.
Native Nations in the US suffer from a high percentage of unserved or under-served in terms of digital access and equity. According to a 2019 study by Dr. Traci Morris of the American Indian Institute at ASU, 18% of reservation residents have no internet access at home, either wireless or wireline. 31% have spotty internet or no connection at home via smartphone.
The Biden Administration’s answer to the problem is the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (TBCP), a $3 billion program from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Consolidated Appropriations Act. The program is designed to bring “high-speed Internet to Tribal lands, including telehealth,

What Is a Private Network?

February 19, 2013Remember when wireless technology meant a doctor with a pager or a high-priced lawyer with a cell phone the size of a shoebox? So much has changed since then, with thousands of new devices, more powerful networks, and faster and faster data transmissions.

It's machines talking to machines.
The Next Frontier for Wireless Technology
The next frontier in wireless communication is machine-to-machine (M2M) technology that links machines with other machines using wireless connections that transmit useful data in real time, so humans can act on it and learn from it. M2M has applications in a myriad of industries, including petrochemical, energy,
