Working with Verizon, this new fixed wireless voice and data solution offers customers a more immediate, reliable, high-speed connectivity option,” the announcement about the partnership explained. According to Brightspeed, the partnership will allow services to be deployed “to homes and businesses that Brightspeed’s planned fiber broadband network build may not reach.
A new partnership between Brightspeed and Verizon will allow Brightspeed to deliver fixed wireless services over Verizon’s network for customers with aging copper cables.
Brightspeed, a telecom provider based in North Carolina, announced the partnership with Verizon last week.
The news comes as Brightspeed continues to deploy fiber in the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions, backed by sizable investments, Brightspeed’s release stated.
“Working with Verizon, this new fixed wireless voice and data solution offers customers a more immediate, reliable, high-speed connectivity option,” the announcement about the partnership explained.
According to Brightspeed, the partnership will allow services to be deployed “to homes and businesses that Brightspeed’s planned fiber broadband network build may not reach.”
Brightspeed CEO Tom Maguire had comments included with his firm’s announcement and said Brightspeed’s goal is to provide every home within their footprint with a more reliable option than copper for services.
“Everyone deserves the latest and best communications technology available,” Maguire said. “Archaic copper networks are costly to maintain, susceptible to weather-related issues and can neither support modern technology nor telecommunications innovation and the needs of the future.”
Additionally, he said the partnership would help Brightspeed customers who are not currently served by fiber.
“Working with Verizon, this new fixed wireless voice and data solution 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.”
