BroadbandOne and Intracom Telecom target enterprises with Gigabit FWA
BroadbandOne, a growing enterprise connectivity provider, and Intracom Telecom have struck a partnership to expand their broadband points of presence across Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida. The initiative is based on Intracom Telecom's 28 GHz multi-gigabit mmWave Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology and BroadbandOne's service model. BroadbandOne's rollout delivers gigabit connectivity for business customers, especially in areas where traditional fiber is limited or cost-prohibitive. Intracom Telecom's technology can connect subscribers with download speeds up to 2.4 Gbps and reach beyond 5 miles from the cell center. Each Intracom Telecom WiBAS™ G5 Smart Base Station radio offers a 5.6 Gbps capacity and serves 120 subscribers, featuring hierarchical QoS and high service availability. The deployment strategy supports BroadbandOne's Telco as a Service (TaaS) model, a fully managed solution that gives enterprises scalable, carrier-grade connectivity without the burden of owning and maintaining network infrastructure.
