Harnessing the 2.5 GHz Spectrum: A Game-Changer for Alaskan Tribal Broadband
Harnessing the 2.5 GHz Spectrum: A Game-Changer for Alaskan Tribal Broadband
The 2.5 GHz spectrum has emerged as a significant resource for expanding broadband access in underserved areas, particularly among Alaskan Tribal communities. This portion of the radio frequency spectrum is well-suited for delivering high-speed internet due to its ability to travel longer distances and penetrate obstacles, making it ideal for bridging the digital divide in rural areas.
A Spectrum of Opportunity for Alaska's Tribes
In recent years, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has taken steps to make the 2.5 GHz spectrum more accessible to Tribal entities. The FCC's 2.5 GHz Rural Tribal Window allowed Tribes to apply for free licenses to use this spectrum on their lands. This initiative has opened up unprecedented opportunities for Alaskan Tribes to build and operate their own broadband networks, improving connectivity for their members and fostering economic development.
