If you know anything about Brightspeed, it’s been all about building fiber broadband. However, the operator must still contend with the sizable incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) copper footprint it acquired from Lumen and figure out how to connect the customers who might have to wait years to get fiber—if at all. To that end, Brightspeed is working toward the launch of a new fixed wireless access service in partnership with Verizon. Simply put, the new fixed wireless access (FWA) product is a 4G device with global eSIM capabilities. Verizon will supply the internet data, but users won’t be tied to a single carrier for phone and voice capabilities.
