BLiNQ Networks, a leading manufacturer of CBRS-ready and multiband wireless broadband solutions, and Zeppelin Wireless, a leading deployer of decentralized physical infrastructure, announced a strategic partnership utilizing commercial billboards to deploy decentralized wireless (DeWi) equipment quickly and efficiently across several major U.S. cities. Initially launching in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston, the move is part of Zeppelin Wireless' strategic long-term plan to increase the speed, reliability and accessibility of cellular connectivity for broader populations in the United States.
BLiNQ's expertise in CBRS LTE has been pivotal in delivering groundbreaking DeWi network and solution integrations, facilitating rapid plug-and-play deployment. The FW-300i, known for its sleek aesthetics and cost performance metrics, has emerged as BLiNQ's flagship solution in the DeWi marketplace.
Zeppelin Wireless has successfully created one of the largest contiguous CBRS networks in the U.S. in Houston. By installing small cell radios on commercial billboards and rooftops, Zeppelin is significantly improving cellular coverage and actively expanding its network to increase coverage density. Zeppelin Wireless aims to leverage its portfolio of over 100,000 billboard partner locations to scale its deployments across the United States.
In the long term, global deployment of decentralized wireless infrastructure at a large scale is key to ensuring widespread access to reliable, high-speed, private, and affordable connectivity.
