Brightspeed is making a multi-billion-dollar investment in deploying its state-of-the-art fiber broadband network across its service areas in the South, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. to replace aging copper telecommunications infrastructure. However, the deployment of Brightspeed’s fiber network to more than four million homes and businesses will take time and can’t fully cover the nearly seven million locations across its footprint. Working with wireless carriers, Brightspeed developed a new fixed wireless voice and data solution that offers customers a more immediate, reliable, high-speed connectivity option and can be deployed to homes and businesses that Brightspeed’s planned fiber broadband network build may not reach.
Brightspeed’s fixed wireless voice and data solution provides customers currently served by aging, unreliable copper cables, an upgraded communications and connectivity experience. The solution provides a more reliable, resilient option that supports voice calls and helps families and businesses connect to the internet with a more stable, carrier agnostic connection. Their fixed wireless solution has industry-standard customer self-serve battery backup in case of power outages—providing Brightspeed customers with peace of mind that they will have access to critical communication means during critical weather events.
