GeoLinks on Tuesday announced a new fixed wireless platform based on the DOCSIS 3.1 specification that runs in the 60GHz spectrum band that will be deployed across its footprint. The move would shift GeoLinks off the 5GHz band it has primarily used across its ten years of operation. CEO Skyler Ditchfield said the 5GHz band is becoming increasingly crowded and that the company's new platform will support faster speeds and more reliable connections. The question driving GeoLinks' shift is: "How do you deliver gigabit services at a reasonable price?" Ditchfield explained. GeoLinks today counts around 8,000 enterprise customers, and around the same number of residential customers across primarily California and a handful of other states. The company, which primarily operates a fixed wireless Internet network spanning roughly 400 towers, has been working to expand its operations via acquisitions and government funding. For example, the company recently closed on its acquisition of fixed wireless infrastructure and spectrum licenses from TPx Communications (TPx), and it also won $234.9 million in the FCC's recent Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) auction for rural broadband services.
