What does that mean for our customers? It means a lot more 4G WiMAX. We now have the ability to operate at much higher power which improves coverage. This FCC spectrum is also protected from interference. If we couldn't hook you up previously we should be able to now or in the near future. This also gives us the ability to offer indoor, "zero truck roll" installs. We are currently upgrading existing towers to operate in this spectrum as a part of our $26 million dollar network upgrade. These towers can also transmit both WiMAX and future LTE standards when available giving us a solid future path. This spectrum also gives us greater speed and capacity. We are currently operating with a 5Mbps minimum download speed in this spectrum. Call or email now for an upgrade. |
