The Oneida Nation and Cellcom have announced a new partnership to bring fast, reliable, affordable high-speed internet to homes and businesses across the Oneida Nation tribal lands, aiming to bridge the digital divide in underserved areas. The service uses Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology from newly built towers to deliver wireless broadband with unlimited data and no long-term contract, supporting remote work, education, telehealth, and economic opportunities for residents. Funded by the Oneida Nation with engineering and operational support from Cellcom, the initiative reflects the Nation’s efforts to strengthen self-governance and community development by expanding essential digital infrastructure.

Proud of the value and flexible solutions the Althea team and products are delivering in private cellular to our partners. Many MNO and private 5G vendors are only able to offer a rigid set of hardware, but the flexible, software defined nature of #KeyLTE/5G, Althea's billing, and spectrum options like Globalstar #Band53, we can put together the right solution for the job. This yields real results, at nearly half the cost of other solutions: The result? 🔗 100% uptime 💸 0.06% error rate 📈 Doubled revenue for some vendors

There are business partnerships… and then there are the ones that hit a little closer to home. I’m proud to share that Communications Northwest is now part of the Portland Trail Blazers Small Business Partnership. As a lifelong Blazers fan, this one means something different. Like a lot of people in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up watching this organization—through the highs, the rebuilds, and everything in between. So to now align our company with a franchise that’s such a big part of this region’s identity is pretty special. But beyond the personal side, this is also a strategic move. At Communications Northwest, we’ve built our business around serving mission-critical operations—public safety, utilities, transportation—organizations where communication isn’t just important, it’s everything. Partnering with the Trail Blazers allows us to further connect with the communities we serve, strengthen regional relationships, and continue growing our presence across the Pacific Northwest. We’re excited about what this partnership represents—both professionally and personally—and look forward to what’s ahead.

This interview accurately represents the hearts of the people involved in the New Mexico Fiber Network. These efforts will improve all of New Mexico, not just the most populous areas. While fiber connections to residential areas increase the value of properties, NMFN increases the opportunities for all of New Mexico.

A Utah school had no usable cellular service inside. Calls dropped. Texts failed. Emergency calls didn’t go through. InfiniG partnered with AT&T and T-Mobile to bring their signal indoors - delivering reliable voice and data coverage in every hallway and classroom. Now staff, students, and parents stay connected when it matters most.
