DigitalC announced a $500,000 in-kind donation of cutting-edge broadband technology from Google Fiber to help accelerate the nonprofit’s mission of delivering affordable, high-speed home internet to underserved Ohio communities. The donation includes next-generation Fixed Wireless Access equipment from Tarana, which will allow DigitalC to expand its Canopy home internet service—offering symmetrical 100 Mbps internet at an affordable rate—to even more neighborhoods in Ohio. This milestone comes on the heels of DigitalC connecting its 6,000th household in Cleveland, a city once ranked the worst-connected large city in the U.S. by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance. DigitalC already uses Tarana’s ngFWA technology to power its citywide network. The additional equipment from GFiber will allow faster deployment to even more neighborhoods that have historically lacked access—without the delays or costs of laying fiber.
