Many governments today are looking to bridge the “digital divide” and bring broadband access to all their citizens. Traditionally, however, high infrastructure costs associated with reaching rural subscribers have made it hard to reach them.
With SOMA solutions, cost and distance are no longer barriers to reaching rural markets. Based on the Mobile WiMAX standard, SOMA solutions provide a broadband wireless infrastructure with the greatest reach available today.
SOMA solutions can be deployed in rural markets far more quickly and at far less cost than traditional wireline infrastructures. Because service quality is not compromised by distance or terrain, rural subscribers enjoy the same high-quality data, voice, video and mobile services available to other broadband subscribers.
In the U.S., SOMA solutions have been fully certified through the Rural Utilities Services (RUS) arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
SOMA Networks is one of the few broadband wireless access companies that support the lower 700 MHz licensed spectrum band. SOMA also supports five additional licensed bands, ranging from 1098 to 3.5 GHz. |
