Providing reliable broadband to rural communities isn’t just part of our job at MyJEC Broadband—it’s part of our mission. Deep in the heart of Texas, serving Matagorda County and its neighboring areas, we’ve witnessed firsthand how traditional broadband often fades where it’s needed most. When other providers couldn’t meet expectations, our neighbors turned to us for a better solution. We knew we had to deliver—and we were determined to get it right, from the very first signal.
Facing a Critical Crossroads in Our Network Growth
We started our broadband journey with wireless solutions, using Cambium Networks radios to connect our customers. But as demand grew, it became clear that we needed higher capacity and a long-term, scalable solution. The challenge intensified when our existing GPON vendor discontinued their product line. We were at a turning point: find a fiber solution that could integrate with our current setup without disrupting service—or risk falling behind.
We needed a partner who understood the unique challenges of rural broadband and could offer more than just hardware. That’s when we turned to Cambium Networks.
Why We Chose Cambium Networks
Cambium offered more than just a fiber platform—they provided a fully integrated solution that worked seamlessly with our existing infrastructure. Their interoperability meant we didn’t have to overhaul our network or waste resources on costly truck rolls. We could drop Cambium OLTs into place and keep moving forward.
With Cambium’s GPON Fiber Solutions, RV22 Wi-Fi 6 Home Mesh Routers, and centralized management through cnMaestro™, we gained exactly what we needed:
- A scalable, high-performance fiber backbone.
- Reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi for our customers’ homes.
- A single management platform to oversee both our fiber and wireless networks.
The fact that we were already using cnMaestro for our wireless operations made the transition even smoother. We could onboard and manage equipment without reinventing our processes.
The Impact: Reliable Service, Streamlined Operations
Since deploying Cambium’s fiber and Wi-Fi solutions, we’ve seen immediate improvements:
- Fewer Truck Rolls: Remote provisioning and management capabilities have drastically reduced the need to send technicians into the field.
- Better Customer Experience: Our subscribers now enjoy fast, low-latency connections with strong Wi-Fi coverage throughout their homes.
- Operational Efficiency: Managing our entire network—fiber, wireless, and customer premises equipment—from a single pane of glass has simplified our workflows and empowered our team.
We’ve had customers return to us after trying other providers because they know we deliver the reliable connectivity they need. And with Cambium’s solutions in place, our customer service reps and technicians can focus on supporting people, not troubleshooting network issues.
Enabling Growth Without Adding Complexity
For us, this wasn’t just about upgrading technology—it was about positioning MyJEC Broadband for future growth. Cambium’s ONE Network approach allows us to expand rapidly without complicating our operations.
