How do tribes build broadband networks that serve their communities—without giving up ownership? What is your plan to create a broadband network that fits your needs for long-term value so you can respond to emergencies faster, connect elders and provide connectivity to community spaces?  
 

Calix has collaborated with tribes to create actionable insights to not only get them started on their broadband journey but also ensure they can provide secure connectivity to homes, apartment buildings, local businesses, remote locations, and more.
 

Join Native Network CEO Andrew Metcalfe and Claudia Tarbell, Senior Engagement Manger at Calix, on August 7 at 2 p.m. ET for a 30-minute conversation that will highlight the broadband journey for tribes to plan, form and operate a tribally owned, sustainable broadband business. Insights to be shared include: 

  • Tribal broadband landscape

  • Broadband formation models

  • Operational essentials and strategies
