Trailrunner Broadband Internet has unveiled its next-generation broadband service, powered by Tarana Wireless, which will reach customers in rural parts of New Hampshire.

CONCORD, N.H., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents in more rural communities of New Hampshire will soon have access to ultra-high-capacity, high-speed broadband technology, thanks to the launch of Trailrunner Broadband's upgraded high-speed network. The upgraded service will reach customers starting in North Stratford. There will be 11 site locations upgraded by the end of 2025.

"New Hampshire has been a national leader in broadband buildout to ensure reliable connections across the Granite State," said Governor Chris Sununu. "We've moved faster than any other state to provide residents with speedy, reliable service at one of the lowest costs. Our work continues to ensure the Granite State remains competitive in attracting workforce, business, residents, and telehealth opportunities. Thrilled by this announcement!"

"No matter where you live, work, or enjoy time in New Hampshire, you should be able to access reliable broadband—our rural towns and the North Country are no exception," said Senator Jeanne Shaheen. "As a lead negotiator of the broadband provisions in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I'm glad to see upgrades that will greatly enhance coverage, and will keep working to ensure every Granite Stater, first responder and visitor alike, can get connected to quality, high-speed internet."

The existing Trailrunner network utilizes standard 4G LTE Cellular technology. Now, Trailrunner has selected Tarana Wireless, the world's first manufacturer of next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA), to enable this new high-speed broadband service, which will meet and exceed the FCC's expected minimum broadband performance requirements. Tarana's high-speed broadband solution is built on an entirely new technology from the previous 4G LTE and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) networks, resulting in an ultra-high-capacity broadband product that is consistently faster and more reliable than traditional 4G. It also has lower latency, meaning data transmission is virtually instantaneous; has advanced built-in security controls; and can be deployed very quickly.

"We are proud to continue our commitment to delivering the best broadband service to the communities we serve, especially those in extremely unserved and underserved rural areas," said Robert Parsloe, CEO of Trailrunner Broadband Internet. "This brand-new technology has already been deployed to several of our communities, who have given us overwhelmingly positive feedback. Our goal remains the same: helping consumers receive the best broadband experience, whether they're using the internet for remote learning, essential business communications, or a family movie night. We continue to make private investments, as rural communities have waited long enough. Everyone deserves to connect, so why wait any longer?"

The upgraded Trailrunner network was recently deployed in Dexter, Maine and will shortly expand to deliver unmatched performance and coverage to thousands of households in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
