AT&T testing fixed wireless local loop services with speeds of 15-25 Mbps

AT&T is currently testing fixed wireless local loop technology in select areas of the country with local residents who want to try the service, including in Alabama, Georgia, Kansas and Virginia, and is seeing speeds of around 15 to 25 Mbps.

The operation is part of AT&T’s work with the Federal Communications Commission's Connect America Fund; AT&T has promised to provide connectivity to over 1 million locations with speeds of at least 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. "We'll do that through a variety of options, one of which may be fixed wireless local loop, which is currently being trialed," AT&T said.
