ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Networks (NASDAQ: CMBM), a leading global provider of wireless networking solutions, today announced that it is supplying tribal communities in the Western United States with fixed wireless broadband and Wi-Fi solutions to deliver affordable high-speed internet access. The deployments are part of an ongoing effort by Cambium Networks and their channel partners to help bring broadband service to underserved communities and help close a digital divide that has left Indigenous populations at a disadvantage.
In the past year, Cambium Networks has worked with tribal entities as well as with channel partners to provide affordable high-speed connectivity to 11 remote tribal nations in California, Washington, New Mexico, Arizona and Oregon. Like many Indigenous communities, these tribal nations are among the least connected groups in the United States. The tribal nations have funded these initiatives in part through the U.S. Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act. Collectively, these deployments will improve the lives of more than 100,000 people.
