One Ring Networks to Rollout WiMAX Service in Atlanta

USA based One Ring Networks has announced that it will be launching WiMAX service in the Atlanta Metro area using licensed spectrum it was recently granted. The grant which gives One Ring access to 50Mhz of spectrum between 3650Mhz and 3700Mhz has favorable propagation characteristics.

One Ring says that it has aggressive rollout plans that will bring WiMAX to all major Atlanta sub-markets in 2008.

"Our new WiMAX offering will allow us to provide Atlanta businesses with a whole new value proposition," said Matt Liotta, CEO of One Ring Networks. "Businesses across metro Atlanta are increasingly discovering the limitations of T1s and the need for truly diverse telecommunication services."

In the United States, an estimated 2 percent of buildings have access to fiber. That means 98% of businesses don't have any access alternative. As a fiber and fixed-wireless provider, One Ring now has the infrastructure to offer access solutions to both large and small businesses regardless of their proximity to fiber. "Companies often struggle with business continuity issues related to their telecom infrastructure," said Kris Maher, Director of Sales for One Ring Networks. "Most businesses can't afford a fiber build and are excited to learn about a wireless solution."
