“FiberTower
is pleased and excited to have been selected to participate
in this historic and important commitment by the GSA”
– Michael Gallagher,
CEO, FiberTower
As part of our agreement with Verizon Business, FiberTower
will bring fixed-wireless services to individual government
agencies as required. Utilizing our national-scope wide-band
spectrum holdings in 24 and 39 GHz bands, we will provide
secure, government-grade wireless transport services under
the Verizon umbrella, including diversity/redundancy and fiber
extensions. Read more about
our 24 and 39 GHz spectrum holdings.
FiberTower will also work with GigaBeam to provide more high-capacity
options to support the Networx Universal contract. As part
of a recently signed MOU, FiberTower will be testing Gigabeam’s
wireless fiber radio equipment, including the G-1.25 and G-2.7
WiFiber® solutions.
