XO Communications has installed fixed wireless broadband in nine cities, claiming the technology can deliver speeds in the range of 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
XO said service via its line-of-sight installations is available in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, San Diego, Tampa and Washington, D.C.
XO’s fixed wireless broadband system is being offered in partnership with Nextlink, a sister company that has LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution System) spectrum with licenses in 75 metros.
The technology can support qualified line-of-sight locations within an average of five miles of each wireless hub, said the companies, which will target the service to businesses that do not have access to fiber, or have access only to bandwidth-limited copper lines.
