Live from WISPAPALOOZA 2024, BroadbandOne (BB1) has announced a strategic partnership with Etheric Networks, a leading ISP in California, to revolutionize internet access in rural and underserved communities. Together, the companies will bring BB1’s next-generation, enterprise-grade connectivity to Etheric Networks’ customers, beginning with Salinas, California, in early 2025.
Utilizing BB1’s licensed mmWave spectrum in the 28GHz band, the collaboration with Etheric Networks aims to provide lightning-fast, reliable internet and ethernet services to regions that have historically lacked robust connectivity options. This move is set to enhance BB1’s service offerings and expand its footprint in California, focusing initially on BusinessConnect TaaS solutions that cater to high-volume data needs like SD-WAN.
“This partnership is about redefining connectivity for businesses in rural areas,” said Eric Watko, CEO of BroadbandOne. “Together, we’re delivering unprecedented speed, resilience, and efficiency with our licensed spectrum technology.”
Stay tuned as this partnership grows, bringing reliable connectivity and the potential for future mobility solutions to communities in Salinas, Monterey County, and beyond.
