Rural Broadband

Reliable and affordable high-speed internet connectivity are fundamental for economic activity throughout the US. Access to high-speed internet is vital to close the digital divide and homework gap for the more than 1 in 5 Americans in rural areas and Tribal lands who lack coverage from fixed terrestrial 25/3 Mbps broadband.

GTA offers consulting, planning, program management, and more to aid in this economic development.

At GTA, we help design and build the broadband networks of the future to help communities bridge this gap and provide access to faster internet using cutting-edge technologies like Fiber, 5G, Private Networks, and Fixed Wireless. We support both Public and Private Sector companies in understanding the digital divide challenge and provide services for rapid deployment.
