Pipeline Wireless has announced that the FCC has awarded them a nationwide license to provide WiMAX wireless services in the newly released 3.65 GHz band (3650-3700 MHz) band.
Pipeline Wireless currently covers nearly 2,100 square miles of Eastern Massachusetts, and expects to be fully WiMAX compliant in about 60 days. Pipeline Wireless says it will be able to provide high-quality, high-bandwidth services over the quasi-licensed frequency that requires a small registration fee. In addition to reducing the possibility of interference, the 3.65 GHz band provides higher link budgets, and may enable a no-truck-roll installation, lowering installation costs.
“As a leading wireless network provider, Pipeline Wireless will be able to broaden our service offerings and our customers will reap the benefits of utilizing WiMAX technology,” said Michael Daly, President and CEO, Pipeline Wireless. “Our application was approved and we are excited to deploy WiMAX technology in our coverage area.”.
Pipeline Wireless says WiMAX will enable their company to service multiple customer profiles on the same platform, eliminating the need to separate low- and high-bandwidth customers. Pipeline intends to offer its multipoint, multi-megabit services to customers in near-line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight situations, using 3.65GHz WiMAX deployments.
