Verizon Rural Partner Launches Separate LTE Network for Fixed Service

Bluegrass Cellular announced that it has launched what the company is calling its “second 4G LTE network.” The new network uses the company’s spectrum in the lower 700 MHz band and will support a fixed wireless offering the company is calling “GetSetGo.” What makes this the company’s “second 4G LTE network” is that the company previously turned up an LTE network using upper 700 MHz spectrum leased from Verizon Wireless through Verizon’s LTE in Rural America (LRA) program. That network supports mobile LTE service and operates in parts of the Bluegrass Cellular service territory where Verizon does not have its own network.
