GeoLinks, DoubleRadius recently announced a strategic commercial partnership and a joint microwave equipment and spectrum offering using the GeoLinks national 29-31GHz LMDS spectrum.
GeoLinks is the nation's largest holder of licensed spectrum in the 29-31GHz band (29.5-31.3GHz) throughout the contiguous United States. GeoLinks is a provisional winner of over 250M USD of RDOF funds and over 80M USD in the CAFII Program. It acquired the LMDS licenses from Verizon in early 2021 and will use the assets in strategic locations throughout its core network and expansion markets for Gigabit broadband access as the company grows the GeoLinks brand.
DoubleRadius is a distributor of microwave broadband equipment in unlicensed, lightly licensed, and licensed bands and recently celebrated its 20th year in business. DoubleRadius has been nominated as Master Distributor of the equipment that GeoLinks has commissioned with manufacturers to work within its 29-31GHz spectrum.
With a vast network in California serving critical infrastructure and anchor institutions, GeoLinks will utilize this very LMDS spectrum to provide Gigabit level speeds to both businesses and residential customers. To date, this spectrum has been widely unaffordable and often inaccessible. The announcement today of this spectrum and hardware partnership will change the destiny of the LMDS band, by enabling many additional forward-thinking Wireless ISP’s, municipalities, and utilities to enter the licensed spectrum landscape.
GeoLinks President & COO Ryan Adams
Working with the great team from DoubleRadius will add significant value to that effort. Combining the cost-effective coverage potential and low latency, high-capacity capabilities of the spectrum, with DoubleRadius supplied hardware will allow broadband operators quick access to long term leases, with a one-stop transactional experience.
Gerry Ford, President, DoubleRadius
We look forward to working closely with GeoLinks and the wide body of microwave equipment manufacturers who have stepped forward to provide broadband backhaul and access products that will enable this licensed spectrum to be used quickly in many US markets.
