New base station expands
wireless network coverage to nearly 2,000 additional businesses
DALLAS -- airBand Communications Inc., the largest fixed wireless
company for business customers in the United States, today announced
that it has expanded its wireless network in the greater Phoenix area
with an 11th base station that is deploying pre-WiMAX equipment. The
base station, located in the West Valley, provides coverage to
approximately 2,000 businesses within a four- to five-mile radius.
airBand is deploying pre-WiMAX technology throughout its network to
provide Phoenix businesses with greater broadband capacity and higher
quality of service for Voice over IP, video, disaster recovery, VPN
and remote server applications. Because airBand’s fixed wireless
network bypasses the local telecom company, customers benefit from
scalable bandwidth solutions, quick installations and higher levels of
customer service. airBand customers can upgrade bandwidth in hours and
get services installed in a matter of days. In addition, airBand
offers an unmatched level of reliability backed by its Service Level
Agreement (SLA) that provides a 100-percent uptime guarantee.
“Our deployment of pre-WiMAX technology demonstrates airBand’s ongoing
commitment to ensuring maximum uptime, expanding the broadband
solutions we can deliver, and increasing the number of customers we
can reach with our wireless network,” said Joseph F. Sikora, airBand’s
executive vice president of sales. “West Valley businesses now have a
better choice when it comes to broadband solutions, and with airBand,
they can partner with a company that provides rapid installations,
scalable bandwidth, and a commitment to customer care that is second
to none.”
airBand has successfully operated in Phoenix for more than five years
serving companies such as Mountain Park Health Center, a non-profit
operator of four medical clinics in the Phoenix area.
“Our business relies heavily on fast broadband connections that are
always available and we have been extremely satisfied with the service
we have received across our four locations,” said Mountain Park Health
Center CFO Kim Collins. “We also place tremendous value on the unique
redundancy airBand delivers because its network provides us with a
truly diverse path that is far more flexible than traditional wired
infrastructure.”
