Adtran today announced that Oso Internet Solutions is using its scalable broadband technology to bring reliable, high-speed connectivity to the Ramah Navajo Indian Reservation. The locally owned provider has built a fiber-led broadband network, combining robust infrastructure with flexible last-mile access to deliver consistent, reliable performance and support sustained growth in one of New Mexico’s most remote and underserved regions. The network provides a critical digital foundation, expanding access to essential online services and enabling new economic opportunities for residents and local businesses across the reservation.

“In a region as remote as ours, dependable broadband can fundamentally change what’s possible,” said Ryan Merrill, COO of Oso Internet Solutions. “Connectivity that allows our region to thrive is essential for its future. Working with Adtran, we’re expanding fiber broadband to bring new opportunities to families, schools and local services. Together, we’re delivering access to services that many communities already rely on every day. This is about more than connectivity – it’s about supporting our community’s independence for many generations to come.”

Adtran is enabling Oso Internet Solutions to extend fiber connectivity to one of the USA’s most geographically challenging regions. Building on a close, long-standing relationship, Adtran is working side by side with the team at Oso Internet Solutions, delivering hands-on expertise and ongoing support that simplifies operations and builds confidence day to day. This collaborative approach is helping extend reliable internet services to homes, schools, healthcare providers and local organizations, supporting economic opportunity and improved quality of life across the Ramah Navajo community.

“Reliable broadband can be transformative for tribal communities when it’s built around local priorities, trusted partnerships and real community needs,” commented Jeremy Harris, VP of North America sales at Adtran. ”Oso Internet Solutions is deeply rooted in the Ramah Navajo community, and our role has been to support their vision with dependable technology and practical expertise. Projects like this start with listening, respecting local leadership and building trust over time. They demonstrate what’s possible when tribal connectivity is approached as a strategic commitment – one that continues as communities grow, adapt and define their own digital future.”
