NextLink Internet is working to close the digital divide across the American Midwest. The internet service provider has deployed a large-scale FTTx and fixed wireless private LTE network using its $28.4 million investment in Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum. NextLink wanted to reduce the costs of rural broadband provision, increase performance and prepare for tomorrow’s 5G networks. To accomplish their goals, they turned to Alpha Wireless for carrier-grade expertise in 3.5-GHz-capable antenna design and deployments.

Closing the Digital Divide with High-performance Broadband
Imagine Communications is providing broadband in the most remote areas of rural Ireland. Because customers are spread out, the company needed to optimize its fixed-wireless access (FWA) network. Imagine implemented a soft split feature, but performance was less than targeted due to side lobe interference issues. To resolve these issues, Imagine partnered with Alpha Wireless, a 15-year veteran in the 3.5 GHz space.
