Close the last mile without digging it.
The last mile is the slowest and most expensive part of any network, and in rural areas the cost is spread over the fewest people. Wireless mesh gets broadband there in a fraction of the time and cost of fiber.
Where broadband ends, RUCS keeps going.
Cable and fiber stop where the houses thin out. RUCS picks up the signal at the edge of town and carries it across the hills to the communities the wires never reached.
Faster to build. Cheaper to run.
- No fiber to bury, and none of the permits that hold projects up for years
- Far less to install than trenching cable across low-density areas
- Users get the same experience as any modern broadband connection
- Starts with whatever internet source the area already has: 5G, satellite or fiber
Four kinds of partners.
Towns, counties and islands
Permanent service for unserved and underserved areas. Ocracoke Island, North Carolina has run on RUCS since 2022, funded by the State of North Carolina and Hyde County.
Extend your footprint
We partner with providers to carry their signal into areas where a full build does not make financial sense.
Telemedicine and backup
Connect underserved patients to telemedicine, and keep hospitals and clinics online when their primary line fails.
Countries building out
Wireless mesh can reach most of a country in months, where fiber takes a decade. Tekniam's founder spent two months in East Africa bringing broadband to a developing nation, and Tekniam has met with Colombia's Ministry of Communications.
Working with others who share the mission.
Geeks Without Frontiers
Partner on the N50 Initiative since November 2023.
Rivada Space Networks
Partnership announced in December 2023.
GBA
Tekniam was born out of a partnership with GBA, an engineering, architecture, construction and technology firm.
Bring broadband to your community.
A Tekniam engineer will learn about your mission or community, answer your questions, and show you the fastest way to get connected.
