Tarana Wireless, headquartered in Milpitas, CA, has established a partnership with Trenton, Ontario-based TDL Canada Inc. (dba TDL Gentek) to supply its Gigabit 1 (G1) next-generation fixed wireless access platform to Canadian internet service providers. With this strategic partnership, TDL Gentek’s wireless ISP customers will be able to offer reliable, high-speed internet access to subscribers in underserved and unserved markets across Canada at competitive costs with short installation times.
TDL Gentek is an established wireless equipment distributor with warehouse operations in several locations across Canada to serve WISPs, several of which are currently deploying Tarana’s G1.
Jeff McInnis, TDL Gentek’s President, notes, “The addition of Tarana Wireless to our vendor portfolio is evidence of our unwavering commitment to bringing the world’s best solutions to our Canadian ISP and value-added reseller partners. Tarana’s G1 platform offers subscribers in difficult to reach locations and busy residential neighborhoods reliable, high-speed internet services that outperform traditional fixed wireless or LTE solutions. Our customers can expect fiber-class speeds with much less cost and reduced installation complexity.”
Tarana’s VP of Worldwide Sales, Mike Calabrese, comments, “We’re excited about our partnership with TDL Gentek and look forward to jointly addressing Canada’s digital divide while also bringing healthy competition to the country’s broadband markets.”
Tarana’s G1 currently offers 80 MHz of bandwidth in 5 GHz unlicensed bands, achieving download speeds of close to 1 Gbps in near- and non-line of sight applications, utilizing Tarana’s novel fast signal processing that mitigates the effects of obstructions and interference.
The company recently announced plans for a mid-2023 release of G1 radio models that operate in unlicensed 6 GHz band with 160 MHz channels. By doubling the channel bandwidth, the G1 will deliver up to 1.6 Gbps of aggregate capacity per link. Along with the 6 GHz model release, a companion software upgrade will enable currently available 5 GHz G1 radios to deliver the increased capacity.
