The ISP Challenge

Build a Competitive Network. Control Your Costs.

ISPs and WISPs face relentless pressure to expand coverage while managing CAPEX. Fiber is often cost-prohibitive in rural and semi-rural markets. CLATA designs cost-effective wireless broadband architectures that deliver fiber-class subscriber experience at a fraction of the trenching cost — and we help you access available funding to make it happen.

Key Challenges We Solve

Last-mile coverage for underserved rural and suburban communities
Scalable backhaul capacity to support growing subscriber base without fiber
CAPEX management — maximize coverage per dollar invested
Spectrum licensing, frequency coordination, and regulatory compliance
Managing multi-vendor, multi-technology network infrastructure efficiently
Competing with incumbent fiber on quality, latency, and reliability
BEAD / universal service funding navigation and documentation

Solution Components

The Complete ISP Technology Stack

🗼

Licensed Microwave Backhaul Ring

Connect your tower sites back to the PoP with carrier-grade licensed microwave PTP links. CLATA designs ring topologies with 1+1 protection for zero-outage backhaul — the foundation of your network.

  • 6, 11, 18, 23 GHz — up to 50 km per hop
  • Up to 1 Gbps per link — scalable with XPIC
  • Ring topology with 1+1 HSB protection (<50ms)
  • Full frequency coordination and license filing
  • Link budget + 99.999% availability guarantee

📡

Point-to-Multipoint Subscriber Access

Carrier-grade licensed and unlicensed PtMP systems for subscriber access. From 5 GHz unlicensed to 3.5 GHz licensed bands — with sector antennas delivering up to 1 Gbps aggregate per tower.

  • Licensed 3.5 GHz (CBRS B48) for interference-free operation
  • Unlicensed 5 / 5.8 GHz for cost-efficient deployment
  • Up to 2 Gbps aggregate throughput per sector
  • Subscriber CPE: outdoor and indoor options
  • NMS integration for subscriber management
PtMP Solutions →
🛰️

LEO Satellite — Far Zone Extension

For subscribers beyond the wireless coverage footprint, LEO satellite provides 100+ Mbps broadband with 20–40 ms latency — seamlessly integrated into your network via the CLATA hybrid SD-WAN platform.

  • 20–40 ms latency — VoIP and video conferencing capable
  • 100–300 Mbps downlink typical
  • Self-install or professional terminal installation
  • Managed integration with existing billing systems
  • Multi-link bonding with terrestrial backhaul
Satellite Details →
📱

Private LTE / CBRS Network

Deploy a private LTE network in the CBRS band (3.5 GHz B48) for interference-protected subscriber access. Ideal for suburban markets where PtMP performance is challenged by multipath or vegetation.

  • CBRS SAS coordination — automatic interference protection
  • LTE Cat-18 CPEs: indoor and outdoor form factors
  • Up to 150 Mbps per CPE downlink
  • 10–20 km cell range with appropriate antenna gain
  • Easy integration with existing EPC or cloud core

BEAD Funding & Financing

CLATA helps WISPs navigate BEAD broadband funding applications — providing technical documentation, network design narratives, cost models, and equipment specifications aligned with funding program requirements.

  • BEAD application technical documentation
  • Network design narratives and coverage maps
  • 0% equipment financing — 24 months
  • Equipment leasing options to preserve capital
  • E-Rate eligible product categories

Network Management & NOC

Centralized Network Management System (NMS) for full visibility across your tower sites, backhaul links, and subscriber CPEs. CLATA offers 24/7 NOC monitoring with proactive fault management.

  • SNMP / NETCONF multi-vendor NMS integration
  • Real-time link performance dashboards
  • Subscriber CPE monitoring and diagnostics
  • 24/7 NOC with French & English engineers
  • SLA performance reporting — monthly

Use Case

Rural WISP — 200 km² Coverage

Deployment Case — Regional WISP
200 km² Rural Coverage — 15,000 Subscribers
A regional WISP needs to cover a 200 km² rural area with 15,000 dispersed subscribers — a mix of residential, small farm, and small business customers. Terrain includes rolling hills and dense forested areas. Fiber deployment is economically infeasible. CLATA designs a hybrid architecture that delivers average 100 Mbps per subscriber with 99.9% uptime.
