Verizon's Starry Acquisition: A Major Boost for FWA 🚀 Well, well, well. The broadband landscape just got a little... accelerated. You saw the news—Verizon is acquiring Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) provider, Starry. ✨ This isn't just another industry acquisition; it's a very strategic chess move that directly strengthens our hand in delivering high-speed internet to complex, dense environments. For our Connecticut Mid-Market clients, here is the takeaway: This acquisition means better, faster FWA is coming. 🔥 Starry’s innovative approach leverages millimeter wave (mmWave) technology and a quick-to-deploy, cost-effective architecture that is perfect for navigating urban settings and Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). The goal is clear: accelerate our FWA capabilities and bring a powerful, affordable broadband option to millions of new customers. We're officially doubling down on making sure that space currently dominated by cable companies is now wide open for superior Verizon connectivity. And it’s interesting, I saw Starry had a Net Promoter Score that was nearly double the industry average. 🩷 That’s what we want. When you find a technology that not only works but delights the customer so much they don't even have to call back? It's like finding a dollar in a coat pocket you haven't worn since last winter—you forget about it, but then, bam! Free money. Except this is highly strategic mmWave spectrum. Very different. Very exciting. Let's talk about how this enhanced FWA portfolio can simplify your organization's connectivity needs—especially as Copper/POTS lines sunset, demanding reliable alternatives. 💻 Our team has the expanded toolset to get it done. Reach out and I will help you map out your modern FWA solution. #FWA #FixedWirelessAccess #5G #Broadband #VerizonBusiness #TechSolutions #CTBusiness #MidMarket https://lnkd.in/eqEZ3WQd

Comcast has reopened its flagship Lift Zone at OIC Philadelphia after a $1 million investment towards new technology and more digital access.

Saturday School: On the Road with Theresa Brown As we heard this week of a $2.7Bn network modernisation plan for VodafoneThree, we will see fewer and fewer of these legacy 2G/4G sites, a 15m monopole where the antennas sit behinds a Radome, slightly above trees around 12m high. This site is less than a mile from Bognor Regis beach, with farmland to the rear and homes in front. It’s likely to see a significant bump in performance, I’d expect to see a Phase 7 Mark 2 with dual massive MIMO and shared antennas to replace this Phase 5. Permission already exists for a 17.5M Phase 8 single Massive MIMO predating the merger announcement and requiring a higher capacity VodafoneThree capability in addition to EEs previous plans. Excluding VMO2 Site Upgrades, we should expect to see at least 17000 sites upgraded in the coming years, so significantly upgraded mobile experience. #Mobile #Telecoms #Networks 📱 #EveryDaysaSchoolDay Previous Post : https://lnkd.in/eqe7whpA
