WIRELESS BROADBAND
Customer Support
CommSPEED's Network Operations Center is located in Prescott Valley, AZ. This facility houses state-of-the art, fully redundant systems and is connected to the internet backbone via fiber optic lines to multiple backbone circuits.
We operate our powerful wireless microwave transmissions from towers with an expanding network of sectorized hubs, delivering high-speed wireless services throughout Eastern Iowa and Northern Arizona.
Our advanced next-generation wireless broadband network relies on non-line-of-sight (NLOS) technologies, which provide a level of performance comparable to that expected from the evolving Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access (WiMAX) standards.
CommSPEED's network is built using NextNet. NextNet designs, develops and sells modems, base stations and other equipment that enable deployment of NLOS wireless broadband connectivity. NextNet is the most widely deployed provider of NLOS, plug-and-play broadband access systems, with equipment in use in at least thirty different countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
In March 2006, BCE Inc., the parent company of Bell Canada, and Rogers Communications, two of the largest wireline, cable and wireless operators in Canada, launched a nationwide next generation wireless broadband network using NextNet technology.
As compared to cellular, cable and DSL networks that generally rely on infrastructure originally designed for non-broadband purposes, our network was designed specifically to support portable and mobile wireless broadband services. NextNet has designed an Internet Protocol (IP)-based, Ethernet architecture for our network that has significant economic and technical advantages, since it simplifies deployment, operation, maintenance and use of our network in addition to supporting a broad range of potential premium services.
