Nextlink Internet, an internet service provider serving small towns and rural communities across the central United States, adopted a standards-based CBRS system to accelerate fixed wireless access (FWA) deployments to meet the increasing demand for high-speed internet access.
"Nextlink has a strong focus on quality, support and speed for its customers. BEC clearly shares a similar passion in supporting its customers and has played an important role in the launch of our FWA 4G LTE-Advanced and 5G ready network," said Nextlink Chief Technology Officer Cameron Kilton, CTO.
Nextlink selected a combination of BEC's Outdoor CBRS routers, the 4900R21 and 6900R21. The solutions are LTE-Advanced Pro with carrier aggregation up to 3 CA DL / 2CA UL and four-by-four multiple input multiple output (MIMO) advanced antenna technology within a ruggedized IP68 enclosure. The 6900R21 specifically provides increased capacity, higher throughput and extended coverage as the industry's first high-powered LTE CAT B CPE-CBSD.
"BEC prides itself on long-term relationships with internet service providers, and we're excited to be Nextlink's partner of choice for CBRS CPE solutions," said D'Andre Ladson, BEC vice president of marketing. "As a critical component of Nextlink's service offering, we share the same vision for reliable high-speed broadband connectivity to underserved rural communities."
BEC CBRS solutions combine hardware, software and cloud-managed services with embedded spectrum access system (SAS) Domain Proxy that offer deployment flexibility, reduced complexity and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Purpose-built for performance and reliability, the solutions are Part 96 Authorized and OnGo certified to ensure interoperability for multivendor, large-scale deployments.
