New E-Band mmWave Service via Fixed Wireless will offer Gigabit speeds to East Bay businesses and homes.
SAN MATEO, California – January 2023 – Etheric Networks, a leading provider of fiber + wireless internet service in the Bay Area, and Globtel Holding today announced the deployment of a new base station in Emeryville using Globtel’s AIR Gigaray Integra E-Band technology. The deployed base station is the first in a series that will comprise a new commercial fiber-like wireless network in the area. This expansion brings new internet options to thousands of businesses and homes in Emeryville and Berkeley.
Etheric Networks deployed Globtel’s E- Band (mmWave) AIR Gigaray Integra solution at Pacific Park Plaza, which will provide more than a gigabit of throughput to end-users while supporting the multi-gigabit capacity of the base station. For locations already served by in-ground fiber or cable, rooftop fixed wireless is a natural choice for business backhaul or failover.
