Nov. 26, 2025 — Nextlink Internet, a provider serving twelve states, expanded its use of new fixed wireless equipment after activating 350 radio sectors that now deliver gigabit speeds.
Tarana, a broadband equipment supplier based in California, introduced its second-generation G2 platform in September. The company said G2 powers each radio sector on a tower and increases capacity while allowing operators to combine licensed and unlicensed spectrum in one device.
Nextlink reported early gains from the upgrades last week. On a nine mile link, the company replaced its prior equipment with a G2 radio and saw download speeds rise from 369 Megabits per second (Mbps) to more than 950 Mbps.
