ISLETON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--unWired Broadband, a leading high-speed Internet provider in California, announced today the launch of their high-speed Internet service in Isleton, CA. To deliver this service, unWired has constructed a telecommunications tower in the city, equipped with state-of-the-art fixed wireless technology from Tarana Wireless that offers up to Gig speeds. This partnership will bridge the digital divide in a region that has been severely underserved by Internet service providers. Residents and businesses alike now have access to high-speed Internet in Isleton and the surrounding areas.
Headquartered in Fresno, CA, unWired has been in the business of connecting underserved communities across Central and Northern California since 2003. Their product offerings include both fixed wireless and fiber technologies, ensuring they can engineer the right connectivity solution for the mission. Their robust fixed wireless Internet network boasts over 200 towers across twenty counties. unWired’s fiber product NextGen Fiber will also be fully deployed in three California cities by the middle of 2025. Named Best Internet Service Provider by The Fresno Bee for three consecutive years, as well as Best Customer Service, unWired has a proven track record of excellence.
“We're thrilled to bring high-speed Internet to the residents and businesses of Isleton,” said Matt Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of unWired Broadband. “Our partnership with Tarana Wireless allows us to deliver cutting-edge technology, creating more economic opportunities within the community. We’re excited to be a part of Isleton’s better, more connected future. This is a significant step in our mission to connect underserved communities across California."
"unWired Broadband and the City of Isleton formed the best possible win-win alliance to bring reliable high speed Internet to our beautiful but isolated community in the heart of the Sacramento Delta,” said David Kent, Isleton City Councilmember. “To our residents, Internet access means opportunity and unWired believed in the value of our partnership in facilitating new opportunities. As a result, our mutual zeal and cooperation led to a successful outcome, moving Isleton from behind to ahead in digital technology."
To celebrate this exciting milestone, unWired Broadband, in partnership with the City of Isleton, Valley Vision and Tarana Wireless, will be hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new tower on December 11, 2024 at 1pm.
