Carlson Wireless
TV White Space and long-range radio systems that bring broadband and voice to rural communities and remote operations.
Connecting the unconnected.
Founded in 1999, Carlson Wireless Technologies designs and builds wireless systems that deliver high-quality voice and data links to rural and remote users worldwide.
