XCIEN and Tarana Expand Next-Generation FWA Footprint into Mexico

MONTERREY, Mexico & MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XCIEN and Tarana today announced a new partnership to bring high-speed, reliable internet service to businesses and residential areas across Mexico with plans ranging from 100 to 400 Mbps.

XCIEN, the largest wireless internet service provider in Mexico, plans to utilize Gigabit 1 (G1) — Tarana’s breakthrough broadband platform that has introduced the next generation of fixed wireless access (ngFWA) — in previously hard-to-reach, rural areas where fiber is not economically viable. XCIEN also plans to use G1 in competition with fiber offerings in urban zones where G1’s deployment speed and high throughput make it a compelling alternative.

The recent increase in remote work, education, and healthcare has created a strong incentive for XCIEN to broaden their target market, now including more residential areas. XCIEN Director of Operations, Jesús Cañamar, said, “Fast, dependable internet is not only crucial for the businesses we serve, but also the neighborhoods where home offices and ‘classrooms’ are ever more present. With G1’s long reach and ease of deployment, we can provide quality service to many more of these homes, and more quickly.”

Basil Alwan, Tarana CEO, added, “G1's unique versatility is creating new possibilities for customers worldwide, and we appreciate the opportunity to kick off our expansion into Mexico with the country’s most established wireless access service provider. We look forward to helping XCIEN increase the performance and reach of their services for both corporate and residential customers.”
