Tel Aviv, Israel, March 3, 2020, RADWIN, a leading global wireless broadband product solutions provider, today announced that Velocity – a division of the Butler Electric Cooperative, a Kansas-based rural utility company—has deployed RADWIN’s JET Point-to-Multipoint solutions in 5.8 GHz and 5.1 GHz to drive high-speed wireless broadband of up to 100 Mbps to thousands of residential and business customers in rural Kansas. To date, Velocity has deployed upwards of 320 JET PRO base stations and more than 2,500 subscriber units and will continue to scale as its network grows.
Reinhard Florin, RADWIN’s GM U.S. & Canada, stated: “Service providers and electric cooperatives such as Butler looking to drive broadband to underserved remote communities are realizing that fixed wireless broadband is the best alternative for last-mile connectivity, because fiber is too expensive and slow to roll out in these rural areas. It’s important to remember that people living in rural communities have the same needs for education, connectivity, and entertainment as people living anywhere else in the United States, so we believe that by providing solutions that enable driving broadband to any point, be it the remotest farm or village, we’re helping bridge the digital gap.”
