RE: Now we need the next Contract win... and the Market is going27 Oct 2021 19:08
While it’s been known fiber-to-the-home projects have been generally 5x the cost and have required 5x the time to complete versus a comparable broadband wireless solution, current global fiber-optic line supply constraints, combined with construction labor scarcity and rising inflation, are adding time, cost and uncertainty to community fiber projects — creating even more urgent demand for affordable and time-efficient alternative solutions. The Redzone/Tarana collaboration delivers fiber performance at 80% lower cost in only 20% of the time, without the escalating uncertainties of today’s fiber-to-the-home builds. “Redzone has introduced this new broadband technology to a limited number of communities during the pilot period, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive”, McKenna said. “It’s clear that these communities have waited long enough. They are wowed by the technology, and we are confident that our solution will exceed their expectations.”
“Every municipal leader that is looking to improve speeds, lower costs, and eliminate broadband coverage gaps in their community needs to take a look at the Redzone + Tarana solution,” said Brian Lippold, CEO of Broadband/Telecom Consulting Firm Casco Bay Advisors. “It’s affordable, it can be deployed quickly, and, because it’s wireless (as opposed to wired), a one-time infrastructure investment has the potential to connect every present and every future home and business in the region with minimal marginal cost. It’s also more resilient and environmentally hardened than utility-line-powered solutions, and it can reach both on-grid and off-grid locations. It checks a lot of boxes.”
