As the FCC pushes its Connect America Fund initiative, AT&T has expanded its Fixed Wireless Internet (for rural and undeserved locations) service to eight more states. Those come in addition to the initial launch that took place in Georgia back in April. Over 70,000 locations are now accessible in Georgia, as well as Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana.

“We’re committed to connect hard-to-reach locations to the internet. This changes lives and creates economic growth for these areas,” comments Cheryl Choy, vice president of wired voice and internet products at AT&T. “We’re excited to bring this service to even more underserved locations.”

AT&T said it plans to serve over 400,000 locations by the end of 2017 and over 1.1 million by 2020. The goal is to launch this service in a total of 18 states before January 2018. Coverage is expected to also roll out in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin.

The service features 160 GB of monthly data, with additional data available for $10 per GB up to a maximum of $200 per month. Buckets of 50 GB in data are additionally available for $10 that also have a monthly cap of $200.

Fixed Wireless Internet service provides a home internet connection with download speeds of at least 10 Mbps. The connection streams from a wireless tower to a fixed antenna on the customer’s home or business. AT&T considers this an efficient method of delivering high-speed internet to customers living in rural areas of the country that have been left behind in the digital age until now.

In addition to AT&T, the FCC’s Connect America Fund commitment includes nine other mobile service carriers, which accepted $1.5 billion to bring broadband service to approximately 23 million Americans living in rural parts of the country.
