WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tribal Ready has announced a new partnership with Gaiia that will help tribes own and manage their broadband utilities. With access to Gaiia’s OSS/BSS platform for internet service provider (ISP) management, tribes can control their internet and protect their data sovereignty.
“Tribal Ready is committed to connecting tribes to internet service, but it is a priority for us to do so in a way that safeguards the sovereignty of tribal nations,” said Joe Valandra, CEO and Chair of Tribal Ready. “We are excited about this relationship with Gaiia as it will give our clients the power and independence to regulate their networks while ensuring the security of their data.”
Gaiia was created in 2021 and offers a platform to run an ISP with an all-in-one solution for billing, operations, automation, customer management and a customer portal. Tribal Ready, a Native-owned and governed company, is focused on advancing tribal sovereignty by helping clients secure access to broadband funding, planning, and resources.
“Gaiia is honored to partner with Tribal Ready to help empower tribes across the country with the ability to manage their broadband,” said Marc-Andre Campagna, CEO and Co-Founder of Gaiia. “Our platform is the perfect all-in-one solution for tribal communities to safely and effectively manage their networks.”
