Fixed-wireless voice and data provider Airband Communications has expanded its network operations to server Orlando, a market that includes more than 450 hotels with a need to meet the demands of conventions, business travelers, and tourists or, as Airband calls it, “an insatiable appetite for high-quality and rapidly scalable Internet access.”
In addition to serving Orlando’s hospitality market, Airband’s fixed-wireless network will deliver high-quality voice and data services to businesses, entertainment venues, and other commercial locations. “Orlando hoteliers have grown tired of inadequate data service experienced with the local phone and cable infrastructure because it’s vital that guests be satisfied with their high-speed Internet access,” says Daman Wood, Airband’s executive vice president of sales. “We support hotels’ back-office traffic and guest Internet access with separate, highly scalable circuits so hotels can rapidly increase bandwidth for short periods of time based on needs of guests and conventions.”
To meet Orlando’s demand for voice and data services over Airband’s fixed-wireless network, Airband is selling services directly and indirectly through its agents and other channel partners.
Airband’s scalable fixed-wireless solution is different from wired broadband offerings whereby usage billing above the bandwidth threshold can be unpredictable. With Airband, hotels control the amount of bandwidth that’s available and, when needed, they pay only for a specific increase in bandwidth.
“The scalability of Airband’s fixed-wireless network means it can consistently meet increased customer demands for hosted applications, including VoIP, the company states in a press release. “In addition, because Airband’s fixed-wireless network bypasses the local phone and cable infrastructure, customers don’t have to worry about downtime.”†
