Wireless Coverage Improving Across the US
In response to growing demand for better coverage, increased capacity, and new wireless services, and faced with near saturation of cellular towers, wireless carriers are turning to NextG Networks and its advanced municipal cellular networks.
Milpitas, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2005 -- In response to growing demand for
better coverage, increased capacity, and new wireless services, and faced with
near saturation of cellular towers, wireless carriers are turning to NextG
Networks and its advanced municipal cellular networks.
In the past year
alone, NextG has added several hundred muni-cells™ to support wireless consumers
across seven cities in California, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and Michigan.
These municipal cellular distributed antenna systems provide coverage in
communities like UC Santa Cruz, where mountainous terrain made cell towers
ineffective; Pacific Palisades, CA where no wireless carrier has been allowed to
install new antennas; and Atlanta, GA, where calls were getting blocked and
dropped because cell sites were operating at maximum capacity.
NextG’s
development of 15 new networks in less than 9 months is evidence of the strong
demand for wireless coverage across the country and NextG’s commitment to
meeting that demand on time and on budget for its carrier
customers.
NextG’s fast growth over the past year is due to its patented
RF-over-fiber technology, its unique muni-cellular™ network architecture, and
strong market demand. Because NextG’s muni-cells are protocol and network
technology agnostic, NextG’s networks can transport any wireless signal from any
wireless service provider. This makes NextG ideal for communities who want to
support multiple service providers and multiple wireless services and ideal for
carriers who want to quickly add coverage and capacity.
“Communities and
wireless service providers around the country have been searching for a viable
alternative to traditional cell towers and rooftop antennas,” says John Georges,
CEO of NextG Networks. “NextG’s patented RF-over-fiber technology gives them a
safer, faster, less expensive, and more attractive way of providing several
wireless services on one discrete network.” By attaching strategically placed,
small, unobtrusive, and low-power muni-cells to NextG’s highly reliable and
flexible fiber optic networks, these networks strike the perfect balance between
improved coverage and community preservation.
Most every major U.S.
wireless carrier has signed on to use NextG’s muni-cellular networks to expand
coverage, increase capacity, and improve the reliability of their services in
key locations. These muni-cellular networks are deployed in some of the most
protected and geographically challenging areas of the country –improving
communication, enhancing security and opening the door to the wireless services
of tomorrow. Operators on these networks are experiencing higher customer
satisfaction, lower churn, and increased revenue per customer.
