Michigan ISP, 123NET, announced yesterday it has purchased dedicated spectrum frequencies (LMDS 29-31 GHz) from GeoLinks, a California hybrid network provider in the fixed wireless space, to significantly expand its leading wireless internet service offering. The company said the spectrum acquisition will ensure its clients’ wireless transmissions are protected in an exclusive frequency, therefore free from interference or delay while delivering superior performance.
“Having dedicated spectrum will usher in a new chapter for our wireless services,” said Justin Lampman, 123NET’s Director of Network Operations. “Spectrum is extremely difficult to obtain. Now that we have it, the competitive advantage we gain will benefit our customers immediately and in the years to come.”
GeoLinks, the largest holder of LMDS Spectrum in the U.S., had originally purchased this spectrum from Verizon as part of a package that helped GeoLink’s national expansion.
“We are excited to select 123NET as the first recipient of our highly-valuable spectrum through the sale of our Detroit licenses,” stated GeoLinks Co-Founder and CEO Skyler Ditchfield. “Like us, 123NET is a provider that utilizes fixed wireless in highly competitive dense metro markets. This acquisition will give them a massive leg up on the competition – both wireless and fiber – by enabling rapid deployment and delivery of multi-gigabit services. We look forward to seeing their business further excel as they demonstrate the capabilities of fixed wireless in dense urban environments.”
