GeoLinks Touts Gig+ Fixed Wireless Access Speeds: Using Broad 28 GHz Holdings Comes Next

GeoLinks has a lot going on with fixed wireless access (FWA), Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) deployments, gig+ speed offers, and spectrum bands. The company has more licenses in the 28 GHz band than any other license holder and "that will give us the opportunity to look into other states in the future,” said COO Ryan Adams. Investments from Rock Mountain Capital and JLC Infrastructure make GeoLinks' expansion plans possible and help GeoLinks build upon their significant spectrum footprint, delivering broadband to urban and rural communities, businesses and government institutions beyond their current footprint. Additionally, GeoLinks has begun offering gig+ speeds—exceeding 1 Gbps—using FWA in several metro markets. GeoLinks was also the winning bidder for RDOF funding in parts of California, Arizona and Nevada, though was only approved for Arizona and Nevada because the California Public Utilities Commission didn’t approve the company’s application for eligible telecommunications carrier (ETC) status. Its RDOF wins in Arizona and Nevada total $84.6 million, which GeoLinks will leverage to provide a combination of FWA and fiber broadband to support gigabit service.
