Adtran announced that Oso Internet Solutions is adopting its scalable broadband technology to bring reliable high-speed network connectivity to the Ramah Navajo Indian Reserve. This local operator has built a fiber dominated broadband network that combines robust infrastructure with flexible last mile access, providing stable and reliable performance in one of the most remote and underserved areas of New Mexico and supporting sustained growth. This network provides a crucial digital foundation, expands the channels for reservation residents and local businesses to access basic online services, and creates new economic opportunities.

Ryan Merrill, Chief Operating Officer of Oso Internet Solutions, said, “In remote areas like ours, reliable broadband can fundamentally change all possibilities. The connectivity that enables our region to thrive is crucial for its future. By partnering with Adtran, we are expanding fiber broadband and bringing new opportunities to homes, schools, and local service providers. The access services we provide together are something that many communities rely on every day. This is not just about connectivity – it’s about supporting the independence and autonomy of our community for future generations.”

Adtran is helping Oso Internet Solutions expand fiber optic connectivity to one of the most geographically challenging regions in the United States. Based on a close and long-term partnership, Adtran is working alongside the Oso Internet Solutions team to provide practical expertise and ongoing support, simplify daily operations, and build confidence. This kind of collaboration is helping to extend reliable Internet services to families, schools, medical service providers and local organizations, and supporting the improvement of economic opportunities and quality of life of Ramah Navajo community.

Jeremy Harris, Vice President of North American Sales at Adtran, commented, “When the construction of reliable broadband revolves around local priorities, trusted partnerships, and real community needs, it can have a transformative impact on tribal communities. Oso Internet Solutions is deeply rooted in the Ramah Navajo community, and our role has always been to support their vision with reliable technology and practical expertise. This type of project begins with listening, respecting local leadership, and building trust over time. They demonstrate the possibilities that can be achieved when tribal connectivity is seen as a strategic commitment – a commitment that will continue as communities grow, adapt, and autonomously define their digital future.”
