Blog Post: Broadband for All – Amplifying Indigenous Voices

November 1, 2023

Blog

As broadband connectivity progresses forward in rural and remote communities around the country, it has become increasingly apparent that the basic understanding of the digital divide – “the [internet] haves vs. the have nots” – is no longer a sufficient or adequately inclusive explanation. To truly understand and address the digital inequities that still exist today, the analyses must go much deeper – looking at root causes and cultural nuances for why we see the divide, and how such disparities deeply affect large groups of people, especially historically marginalized populations such as First American tribes.  

Through an intentional practice of first listening, then learning, and finally, supporting various groups of indigenous peoples across North America, it is our goal to gain clarity and understanding of the unique broadband needs and nuances of each customer we work with. With a heightened awareness of their unique needs, we will be able to do what we at Ceragon do best – roll up our sleeves and get to work solving connectivity problems, large and small, to support our friends living and working in rural areas, and on tribal lands.
