BroadbandOne (BB1), a leader in wireless network innovation and a pioneer in the deployment of Telco as a Service (TaaS) solutions, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with FulAir Wireless Internet to deliver enterprise-grade fixed wireless broadband to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and the surrounding Gulf Coast region. This collaboration marks a major step in bridging critical connectivity gaps for the oil and gas industry, while also supporting underserved communities in Louisiana.
Oil and gas operations depend on reliable, high-capacity broadband for safety systems, telemetry and remote monitoring. Yet many of these facilities are in hard-to-reach locations where traditional fiber build-outs are slow, costly or impractical.
The BroadbandOne–FulAir partnership addresses this challenge head-on. Leveraging BB1’s licensed mmWave spectrum portfolio and award-winning TaaS (Telco-as-a-Service) model, the new network ensures low-latency, high-throughput performance to support critical industrial applications.
What sets this initiative apart is the rapid deployment model. Engineering and propagation studies have been completed, and service activation is expected within a week. This “plug-and-play” approach underscores the efficiency of BB1’s TaaS solution, designed to help enterprises and municipalities access broadband without the long timelines or complexity of traditional network builds.
Eric Watko, CEO of BroadbandOne, noted that the partnership with FulAir delivers “the missing connectivity piece” for operators in the Gulf Coast by unlocking new opportunities for growth and productivity.
This announcement continues BroadbandOne’s momentum across the U.S. The company’s coast-to-coast licensed spectrum portfolio and growing list of partnerships highlight its ability to simplify complex wireless solutions and rapidly scale deployments. Together with FulAir, BB1 is demonstrating how flexible wireless infrastructure can transform connectivity in regions where it is needed most.
