Breeze Broadband, a wireless internet service provider owned by Union Pacific Railroad, is shutting down its service. The company didn’t provide any further details about the action except to say that it “allows us to focus on our core business.” Breeze Broadband operated like many other fixed wireless providers: It broadcasted a signal from its cell towers to receivers on nearby homes and offices in order to deliver internet service. But Breeze Broadband leveraged Union Pacific’s 32,000 miles of railroad track across 23 states, locations where Breeze could install its own cell towers. Breeze launched in 2017 in IA and had planned to expand into CA, KS and TX.
