GeoLinks Buys High Speed Spectrum From Verizon

Camarillo-based wireless Internet provider GeoLinks, let by Skyler Ditchfield, says it has acquired 208 Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) band spectrum licenses from Verizon covering markets across the United States. Financial details of the acquisition were not announced. According to GeoLinks, the spectrum--in the 29/31 GHz bands--will allow it to roll out high speed services in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Atlanta, Houston, Washington, DC, Boston, Tampa-St. Pete, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detroit, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Charlotte, St. Louis, Raleigh-Durham and Indianapolis, and other markets. GeoLinks said it will use the spectrum to support its current and growing customer base, offering faster speeds with fixed point-to-point and point-to-multi-point wireless services, and provide backhaul for 5G services.
