CIONA Open Neutral Host Networks

Affordable, fast, and reliable broadband service is no longer "nice to have;" it is essential. Our digital society depends on stable and secure internet connectivity. In major metropolitan areas in North America, fast broadband service from multiple providers is a given. However, in rural counties, it is a very different story. Broadband service can be expensive, slow, unreliable, and, worse yet, non-existent. Read along and discover how CIONA's Open Neutral Host Network’s end-to-end solution can transform your community into a modern, digital powerhouse.

The Problems with Rural Boardband

Market Gap

Broadband has become an essential service for modern communities. Large cities benefit from fast access and lower prices due to competition from competing service providers. However, getting fast, affordable broadband services in smaller, more isolated communities is almost impossible due to higher per-person costs.

Costs

Traditional broadband deployments are based on economies of scale. Although financially feasible in dense, urban environments, they do not scale well in areas with low population density. Due to a poor return on investments – large service providers have little incentive to deploy fast, reasonably priced broadband internet access in rural communities.

Poor Rural Broadband Access

According to the FCC, an estimated 14.5 million Americans lack access to broadband service at the established benchmark speed of at least 25 Mbps for downloads and 3Mbps for uploads. As a result, approximately 20% of rural Americans lack high-speed internet services.

Lack of Community Networks

A few rural communities have managed to build and support their own community networks. While a few communities have succeeded, the majority find themselves without the funds or the knowledge to develop their own community networks.

Our Solution

Open Neutral Host Networks

Open Neutral Host Network provides an end-to-end platform consisting of a fiber backbone, high-speed broadband wireless, and IoT solutions. We offer affordable last-mile broadband services to municipal, commercial, educational, and residential customers. CIONA's Open Neutral Host Network solutions meet the demanding needs of modern internet services. Our Open Neutral Host Networks are open to multi-tenant services while they are designed, deployed, and managed by CIONA. This means that service providers can focus on providing solutions to your community without deploying infrastructure. It also creates competition for services because no one internet service provider has exclusive control over your community network.

High-Speed Fiber where it's needed most

We design and build wireless solutions with a high-speed fiber backbone. Mission-critical services will benefit from the reliability and speed of gigabit internet technology. As reliable as 5G technology is, critical services should not be competing for bandwidth with wireless users.

Leading Edge Wireless Technologies

We deploy the latest standard high-speed wireless solutions to assure that our Open Neutral Host Networks provide the best broadband experience for our customers. Our industry-standard solutions have been tested by mobile carriers across the globe, ensuring that our wireless networks are secure, reliable, and robust.

IoT (Internet of Things)

The Internet of things comprises devices, sensors, software, and tools that connect and exchange data systems. It allows real-time monitoring and communications between devices and systems. With IoT, you will be able to have modern services and data analytics with reduced staff and overhead. We provide empowering solutions for small communities with limited staff or technical expertise.

Public-Private Partnerships

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) collaborates between government agencies and private-sector companies. We leverage government grants to help finance, build, and support your community network.

Transformation and Training

We provide custom solutions to fit the unique needs of your community. Once your state-of-the-art broadband solution is complete, we provide training to ensure that your community gets the most out of your new broadband infrastructure.

Ongoing Customer Support

After the solution is deployed, we continue to provide customer support and training to ensure that your community gets the most out of its new broadband solution. Technology is ever-changing, and CIONA will be there to make sure that your community continues to benefit from the latest internet technologies.

Our Process

Phase I

Connecting Counties

We first start by connecting counties. This allows for resource sharing and increased reliability through a redundant network topology.

Phase II

Connecting Towns

Next, we connect towns to county governments. This enables resource sharing and connectivity to other cities within the county.

Phase III

Connecting Farms

Finally, we connect farmers and rural customers to the Open Neutral Host Network. This enables access to towns, county governments, metropolitans, and the world.
